ALLAH IS PROUD OF THOSE MAKING ZIKR H 1482 "Mu'awiah came into the Mosque and saw a group sitting there. He asked them, 'Why are you sitting here?' They answered, 'We are gathered for the remembrance of Allah.' He inquired, 'Do you call Allah to witness that this is your only purpose?' They answered, 'That is so.' He told them, 'I did not put you on oath out of suspicion. When it comes to reporting something via him no one with the same relationship to the Messenger, praise and peace be upon him, as I, had less narrations.' On one occasion, the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, came upon a company of his Companions and inquired, 'What has brought you together?' They answered, 'We are seated together remembering Allah and praising Him for having guided us to Islam and for having conferred this favor upon us.' He inquired, 'Do you call Allah to witness that this is your only purpose?' They answered, 'Allah is our witness that is our only purpose.' He said, 'I did not put you on oath out of doubt, but Gabriel came to me and told me that Allah is proud of you amongst the angels.'" R 1482 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Sa'id Khudri who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
1450- وعن أَبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قَالَ : خرج معاوية رضي الله عنه عَلَى حَلْقَةٍ في المَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا أجْلَسَكُمْ ؟ قالوا : جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ اللهَ . قَالَ : آللهِ مَا أجْلَسَكُمْ إِلاَّ ذاك ؟ قالوا : مَا أجْلَسَنَا إِلاَّ ذَاكَ ، قَالَ : أما إنِّي لَمْ اسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ ، وَمَا كَانَ أحَدٌ بِمَنْزِلَتِي مِنْ رَسولِ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أَقَلَّ عَنْهُ حَديثاً مِنِّي : إنَّ رسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم خَرَجَ عَلَى حَلْقَةٍ مِنْ أصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ : "مَا أجْلَسَكُمْ ؟" قالوا : جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ الله وَنَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا للإسْلاَمِ ؛ وَمَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا . قَالَ : "آللهِ مَا أجْلَسَكُمْ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ ؟" قالوا : واللهِ مَا أجْلَسَنَا إِلاَّ ذَاكَ . قَالَ : "أمَا إنِّي لَمْ أسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ ، ولكِنَّهُ أتَانِي جِبرِيلُ فَأخْبَرَنِي أنَّ الله يُبَاهِي بِكُمُ المَلاَئِكَةَ" . رواه مسلم .
