Sunan ad-Darimi 352 — The Virtue of Knowledge and the Scholar

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: "دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَإِذَا الأَسْودَ بْنُ سَرِيع يَقُصُّ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَذْكُرُ الْعِلْمَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَمَيَّلْتُ إِلَى أَيِّهِمَا أَجْلِسُ، فَنَعَسْتُ، فَأَتَانِي آتٍ، فَقَالَ: مَيَّلْتَ إِلَى أَيِّهِمَا تَجْلِسُ ؟ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَرَيْتُكَ مَكَانَ جِبْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ مِنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ".
Imam Ibn Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I entered the mosque (and saw) that Aswad bin Sari’ was narrating stories, and Humaid bin Abdur Rahman was engaged in scholarly discussion in a corner of the mosque. I was hesitant about which gathering to join. I became drowsy, and someone came and said: Are you hesitant about where to sit? If you wish, I can show you the place where Jibreel (peace be upon him) sits in the gathering of Humaid bin Abdur Rahman.

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 351)

From this it is understood that angels are present in scholarly gatherings. Although this is the statement of Ibn Sirin, it is supported by the hadith: «مَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ», which is coming ahead under number (367).
