2724. Abū Wāqid Al-Laithī narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was sitting in the Masjid and the people were with him when three people came. Two of them came near the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and one went away. When the two stopped at the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ they said the Salām. One of them saw an opening in the circle so he sat there. As for the other one, he sat behind them, and the other one went way in the rear. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had finished, he said: 'Shall I inform you about the three people? As for one of them, he took himself to Allāh so Allāh took to him. The other, he was shy so Allāh (had mercy) on him. As for the other one, he turned away, so Allāh turned away from him.'" (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. Abū Wāqid Al-Laithī's name is Al-Ĥārīth bin 'Awf, and Abū Murrah is the freed slave of Umm Hānī' bint Abī Tālib. His name is Yazīd and it is said that he was actually the freed slave of 'Aqīl bin Abī Tālib.

٢٧٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ ‌إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّاسُ مَعَهُ، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ، فَأَقْبَلَ اثْنَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ، فَلَمَّا وَقَفَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَلَّمَا، فَأَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَرَأَى فُرْجَةً فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَجَلَسَ فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ خَلْفَهُمْ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَأَدْبَرَ ذَاهِبًا، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ النَّفَرِ الثَّلَاثَةِ؛» أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمْ فَأَوَى إِلَى اللهِ فَآوَاهُ اللهُ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَاسْتَحْيَا فَاسْتَحْيَا اللهُ مِنْهُ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَأَعْرَضَ فَأَعْرَضَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ اسْمُهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، وَأَبُو مُرَّةَ مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَاسْمُهُ يَزِيدُ، وَيُقَالُ مَوْلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ.

Commentary

This Hadīth tells us that sitting in the religious gatherings is a means of nearness to Allāh and it yields abundant rewards and virtuousness. The one of the three, who saw some space in the circle and filled it and sat nearer to the person in charge of the gathering, he achieved more nearness to Allāh; as for the second person, when he saw no space in the circle, he felt ashamed for bothering people and creating disturbance in the gathering, or he was ashamed of leaving the meeting, or he walked away a little and then came back; but as for the third person, he went away and he did not join the gathering at all, so he became deprived of the reward and good.
