3791. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'eed bore witness that the Prophet ﷺ said: "No people sit in a gathering remembering Allâh. But the angels surround them, mercy covers them, tranquility descends upon them and Allāh remembers them before those who are with Him.” (Sahih)
3791 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ رُزَيْقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْأَغَرِّ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ، يَشْهَدَانِ بِهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ إِلَّا حَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَتَغَشَّتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ، وَتَنَزَّلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ، وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ»

Sitting for the remembrance of Allāh means those who remember Allāh, following the Sunnah, such as those who supplicate Allāh after completing their prayers, or the gathering for learning Qur'ān, Hadīth or for any Islamic lecture, or for discussing the blessings of Allāh that initiate the feelings of being thankful to Allāh. Angels also participate in good gatherings. Sakinah means the feelings of calmness, tranquility and happiness that one feels in his heart due to the remembrance of Allāh. “Allāh remembers them” means showing pleasure on the act.
