وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، ثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، مَوْلَى غُفْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَيُّوبَ بْنَ خَالِدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ:

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: « يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ لِلهِ تَعَالَى سَرَايَا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ تَحِلُّ، فَتَقِفُ عَلَى مَجَالِسِ الذِّكْرِ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَارْتَعُوا فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ ». قَالُوا: وَأَيْنَ رِيَاضُ الْجَنَّةِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « مَجَالِسُ الذِّكْرِ، فَاغْدُوا وَرُوحُوا فِي ذِكْرِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، وَذَكِّرُوهُ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ، مَنْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ مَنْزِلَتَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى فَلْيَنْظُرْ كَيْفَ مَنْزِلَةُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عِنْدَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يُنْزِلُ الْعَبْدَ مَنْزِلَتَهُ حَيْثُ أَنْزَلَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ came out to us and said: “O people, God Almighty has detachments of angels that alight and stand over the gatherings of remembrance on earth, so graze in the meadows of Paradise.” They said: “Where are the meadows of Paradise, O Messenger of God?” He ﷺ said: “The gatherings of remembrance. So go forth in the morning and evening in the remembrance of God Almighty, and remind yourselves of Him. Whoever would love to know his station with God Almighty, let him look at how the station of God, Mighty and Majestic, is with him. For God Almighty places the servant in the station that he assigns to Him from his own self.”
