عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ خَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى حَلْقَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ قَالُوا جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ ‏.‏ قَالَ آللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلاَّ ذَاكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ وَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِمَنْزِلَتِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَقَلَّ عَنْهُ حَدِيثًا مِنِّي وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ عَلَى حَلْقَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ وَنَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا لِلإِسْلاَمِ وَمَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ آللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلاَّ ذَاكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُبَاهِي بِكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Hazrat Abu Sa’eed Khudri RA reported that Hazrat Mu’awiya RA went to a gathering in the mosque and said:

What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah (to tell me whether you are sitting here for this very purpose)? They said: By Allah, we are sitting here for this very purpose.

Thereupon, he said: I have not demanded you to take an oath, because of any allegation against you. And no one in my rank, being so close to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) has narrated so few Ahadith as I have. The fact is that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the circle of his Companions and said: What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah and to praise Him for He guided us to the path of Islam and He conferred favours upon us.

Thereupon he adjured by Allah and asked if that only was the purpose of their sitting there. They said: By Allah, we are not sitting here but for this very purpose, whereupon he (the Messenger ﷺ) said: I am not asking you to take an oath because of any allegation against you but for the fact that Jibra’eel AS came to me and he informed me that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, was boasting to the Angels about your magnificence.

(Sahih Muslim)

The Zaakir Amidst the Ghaafileen

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّـهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا
O you who believe! Remember Allah in abundance ~ Al-Ahzaab 33:41

….

The Zaakir is one who’s heart is alive with abundant Zikr of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala … By remaining in the perpetual remembrance of Allah, one gains the proximity and Ma’rifat of Allah. He is always conscious of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala …

And, the Ghafileen are those who are neglectful of the Zikr of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala. They have become totally heedless and oblivious of Allah. Their heart becomes dead without the remembrance of Allah, and, is likened to a helpless dead corpse…

Hadeeth

Rasulullah Sallallaahu Alaihi wa Sallam said :

“The one who remembers Allah among those who forget Him, is like
a warrior behind those who run away from the battle field.

The one who remembers Allah among those who forget Him, is like
a green tree in the midst of dry ones.

The one who remembers Allah among those who forget Him is like
a light in a dark house.

The one who remembers Allah, is shown by Allah Ta’ala, his abode in Paradise while he is still alive.

One who remembers Allah among those who forget Him, is forgiven
as many sins as the number of humans and animals”

[Jam’ul Fawaaid]
