حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، مَوْلَى غُفْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَيُّوبَ بْنَ خَالِدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ جَابِرٌ:
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ لِلهِ سَرَايَا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ تَحِلُّ وَتَقِفُ عَلَى مَجَالِسِ الذِّكْرِ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَارْتَعُوا فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ، قَالُوا: وَأَيْنَ رِيَاضُ الْجَنَّةِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: مَجَالِسُ الذِّكْرِ، فَاغْدُوا وَرُوحُوا فِي ذِكْرِ اللهِ، وَذَكِّرُوهُ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ، مَنْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ مَنْزِلَتَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كَيْفَ مَنْزِلَةُ اللهِ عِنْدَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُنْزِلُ الْعَبْدَ مِنْهُ حَيْثُ أَنْزَلَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ came out to us and said: O people, God has detachments of angels that alight and stand over the gatherings of remembrance on earth, so graze in the meadows of Paradise. They said: And where are the meadows of Paradise, O Messenger of God? He said: The gatherings of remembrance. So go forth morning and evening in the remembrance of God, and remind yourselves of Him. Whoever loves to know his station with God, let him look at how God's station is with him, for God brings the servant down with Him where he has brought Him down with himself.
