Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) came to a gathering in the mosque and asked: Why are you people sitting here? The people replied: We are remembering Allah Almighty. Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: By Allah! Is it only for this purpose that you are sitting here? They said: By Allah! We are sitting only for this purpose. Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to a gathering of his companions and asked: Why are you sitting here? They said: We are sitting to remember Allah and to praise Him for the guidance of Islam He has given us and for His favor upon us. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah! Is it only for this purpose that you are sitting? The people replied: By Allah! We are sitting only for this purpose. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did not make you swear an oath because I suspect you, but rather Jibreel came to me and informed me: Allah Almighty is expressing pride over you before the angels.
