حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْحُومُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ خَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَی حَلْقَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ مَا أَجْلَسَکُمْ قَالُوا جَلَسْنَا نَذْکُرُ اللَّهَ قَالَ آللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَکُمْ إِلَّا ذَاکَ قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلَّا ذَاکَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْکُمْ تُهْمَةً لَکُمْ وَمَا کَانَ أَحَدٌ بِمَنْزِلَتِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقَلَّ عَنْهُ حَدِيثًا مِنِّي وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ عَلَی حَلْقَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَجْلَسَکُمْ قَالُوا جَلَسْنَا نَذْکُرُ اللَّهَ وَنَحْمَدُهُ عَلَی مَا هَدَانَا لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَمَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ آللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَکُمْ إِلَّا ذَاکَ قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلَّا ذَاکَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْکُمْ تُهْمَةً لَکُمْ وَلَکِنَّهُ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُبَاهِي بِکُمْ الْمَلَائِکَةَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6857
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Mu'awiya went to a circle in the mosque and said: What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah (to tell me whether you are sitting here for this very purpose)? They said: By Allah, we are sitting here for this very purpose. Thereupon, he said: I have not demanded you to take an oath, because of any allegation against you and none of my rank in the eye of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) is the narrator of so few ahadith as I am. The fact is that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) went out to the circle of his Companions and said: What makes you sit? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah and to praise Him for He guided us to the path of Islam and He conferred favours upon us. Thereupon he adjured by Allah and asked if that only was the purpose of their sitting there. They said: By Allah, we are not sitting here but for this very purpose, whereupon he (the Messenger) said: I am not asking you to take an oath because of any allegation against you but for the fact that Gabriel came to me and he informed me that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, was talking to the angels about your magnificence.
