قَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ:
قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ جُلَسَائِنَا خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « مَنْ ذَكَّرَكُمْ بِاللهِ رُؤْيَتُهُ، وَزَادَ فِي عِلْمِكُمْ مَنْطِقُهُ، وَذَكَّرَكُمْ بِالْآخِرَةِ عَمَلُهُ
