Hadith 5405

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَّا نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When people gather in one of the houses of Allah and recite the Book of Allah and teach it to one another, tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him. And whoever is held back by his deeds, his lineage will not bring him forward.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Success and failure in the Hereafter do not depend on lineage and ancestry, beauty and appearance, or wealth and riches; rather, the matter there is related to good and bad deeds. If good deeds are not present, then even the son of a great prophet like Nuh (alayhis salam) will not be able to attain felicity.
