عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: خَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى حَلْقَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ اللهَ، قَالَ آللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ إِلَّا ذَاكَ؟ قَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلَّا ذَاكَ، قَالَ: أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ، وَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِمَنْزِلَتِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقَلَّ عَنْهُ حَدِيثًا مِنِّي: وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ عَلَى حَلْقَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ اللهَ وَنَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا لِلْإِسْلَامِ، وَمَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا، قَالَ: «آللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ إِلَّا ذَاكَ؟» قَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلَّا ذَاكَ، قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُبَاهِي بِكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Said Al-Khudri amesema: Muawia alitoka kwenda msikitini akakuta kundi, akasema: Nini kimewakalisha hapa? Wakasema: Tumekaa tukimkumbuka Mwenyezi Mungu. Akasema: Mnamuapa Mwenyezi Mungu kuwa hakuna lililowakalisha isipokuwa hilo? Wakasema: Wallahi hakuna lililotukalisha isipokuwa hilo. Akasema: Basi tambueni kuwa sikukuapisheni kwa sababu ya kuwatuhumu kwa lolote, na hakuna aliyekuwa katika nafasi yangu kwakuwa na mazungumzo machache zaidi kuliko mimi kutoka kwa Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake: Na hakika Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, siku moja alitoka kwenda katika kundi la Maswahaba zake na kusema: “Mbona mmekaa pamoja?” Wakasema: Tumekaa tukimkumbuka Mwenyezi Mungu na kumhimidi kwa kuwa ametuongoza kwenye Uislamu, na kwa kutujaalia. Akasema: “Mnamuapa Mwenyezi Mungu kuwa hakuna lililokukalisheni isipokuwa hilo?" Wakasema: "Wallahi hatukukaa kwa lolote ila hilo.” Akasema: «Ama mimi sikukuapisheni kwa sababu ya kuwatuhumu, lakini Jibril alinijia na kuniambia kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anajifaharisha kupitia nyinyi, huko kwa Malaika.!"
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri reported: Mu‘āwiyah came upon a group of people sitting in a circle in the mosque and said: What has made you sit together? They said: We have sat together to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah, has nothing else made you sit together? They replied: By Allah, nothing else has made us sit together. He said: Indeed, I have not asked you to swear because I suspect you, and there was no one in the position I was in from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who narrates fewer Hadīths from him than me. Verily, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came upon a group of his Companions sitting in a circle and said: "What has made you sit together?" They said: We have sat together to remember Allah and praise Him for having guided us to Islam and for bestowing favor upon us. He said: "I adjure you by Allah, has nothing else made you sit together?" They said: By Allah, nothing else has made us sit together. He said: "Indeed, I have not asked you to swear because I suspect you, but Jibrīl (Gabriel) came and told me that Allah Almighty is boasting about you before the angels."
Fadhila za Muawia, Mungu amuwie radhi, na pupa yake ya kumuiga Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake katika kufikisha elimu.
Inafaa kumwapiza mtu hata kama humtuhumu, bali kwa ajili tu kumzindua juu ya umuhimu wa kheri unayotaka kumueleza.
Fadhila za vikao vya kumtaja Mwenyezi Mungu, na vikao vya kielimu, nakuwa Mwenyezi Mungu huvipenda na hujifaharisha kwavyo mbele za Malaika.
