1223 - وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أبنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ جَامِعٍ السُّكَّرِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، هُوَ ابْنُ قَعْنَبٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَوَالِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: أُوذِنَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ بِجِنَازَةٍ فِي قَوْمِهِ، فَكَأَنَّهُ تَخَلَّفَ حَتَّى أَخَذَ النَّاسُ مَجَالِسَهُمْ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْقَوْمُ تَسَرَّبُوا عَنْهُ، فَقَامَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِيَجْلِسَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «خَيْرُ الْمَجَالِسِ أَوْسَعُهَا، ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَجَلَسَ فِي مَكَانٍ وَاسِعٍ»
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Amrah Ansari reports that Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed of a funeral in his tribe. He was delayed until the people had already sat in their places. Then he came, and when the people saw him coming, they began to make room for him. Some of them stood up so that he could sit in their place. He then said: Listen! Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The best gatherings are those which are spacious." Then he moved aside and sat in an open space.
Brief Explanation
Explanation: -
In these ahadith, encouragement has been given to make gatherings spacious so that every newcomer may find a place to sit in the gathering and not feel any discomfort. For if the gathering is cramped, those sitting will feel suffocation and constraint, but if it is spacious, they will feel comfort and tranquility. Furthermore, for someone coming from outside to sit, there will be no difficulty, nor will the conversation be affected.
