أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَنبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
«مَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ يَتَذَاكَرُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَّا أَظَلَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّى يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ وَمَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَبْتَغِي بِهِ الْعِلْمَ سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ طَرِيقَهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ»

✧ "Whenever a group of people gather in one of the houses of Allah to study and discuss the Book of Allah among themselves, the angels lower their wings in humility and tranquility. They encompass them with their wings until they are immersed in their discussions. If someone traverses a path seeking knowledge, Allah makes their path to Paradise easy. And those whose actions are slow in progressing, their lineage will not hasten them."
