حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ , عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ رُزَيْقٍ , عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق , عَنْ الْأَغَرِّ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ , يَشْهَدَانِ بِهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ , إِلَّا حَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ , وَتَغَشَّتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ , وَتَنَزَّلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ , وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'eed bore witness that the Prophet(ﷺ) said:` "No people sit in a gathering remembering Allah, But the angels surround them, mercy covers them, tranquility descends upon them and Allah remembers them before those who are with Him."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Those who sit for remembrance (dhikr) refers to those who engage in remembrance in the prescribed (masnun) manner, for example:
Individuals who, after completing prayer, are engaged in the prescribed remembrances (adhkar), or gatherings of admonition and lessons of Qur’an and hadith, or those who mention Allah’s blessings among themselves so that a feeling of gratitude arises in the heart.
➋
To engage in remembrance with self-invented words or self-invented methods is contrary to the Sunnah, such as turning off the lights and performing dhikr collectively, especially striking words rhythmically, or giving importance to supplications that are not transmitted from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), for example:
Durood Taj, Durood Mahi, Kifayat Haykal, Shash Qufl, etc.
From such things, instead of reward, there is a fear of sin.
➌
The angels participate in gatherings of righteousness.
➍
By “tranquility” (sakinah) is meant a special state of contentment, peace, and happiness in the heart that is attained as a result of remembrance (dhikr).
➎
The purpose of the angels mentioning (the people of dhikr) is to express pleasure with this action.
