Hadith 3380

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى التَّوْءَمَةِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِيهِ ، وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ ، إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةً ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُمْ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُمْ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ : تِرَةً يَعْنِي حَسْرَةً وَنَدَامَةً ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِالْعَرَبِيَّةِ : التِّرَةُ هُوَ الثَّأْرُ .
´Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that :` the Prophet said: “No group gather in a sitting in which they do not remember Allah, nor sent Salat upon their Prophet, except it will be a source of remorse for them. If He wills, He will punish them, and if He wills, He will forgive them.”

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The lesson of this hadith is that whenever Muslims sit in a meeting, they should definitely recite the supplication that is to be read at the end of the gathering. Otherwise, instead of being a means of reward, this gathering may become a cause of burden (this hadith is coming under number: 3433).

Note:
(In the chain of narration, Salih bin Nabhan, the freed slave of Al-Taw’amah, is a trustworthy (saduq) narrator, but towards the end of his life, he became afflicted with confusion (ikhtilat). Therefore, the narrations from him by his earlier students, such as Ibn Abi Dhi’b and Ibn Jurayj, are accepted, but the narrations from him by students who narrated after his confusion are weak. The narration in Musnad Ahmad is from Ziyad bin Sa’d and Ibn Abi Dhi’b, who are among the earlier narrators. Likewise, in Tabarani and Hakim, the narrator from him is ‘Ammarah bin Ghaziyyah, who is among the earlier ones, and Hakim has declared its chain authentic. There are also corroborating narrations (mutaba‘at), on the basis of which this hadith is sahih li-ghayrihi (authentic due to supporting evidence). See: Al-Sahihah, number: 74)

Takhrij:
«أخرجه الترمذي، الدعوات، باب ما جاء في القوم يجلسون ولا يذكرون الله، حديث:3380.»©Explanation:
➊ From this hadith, it is understood that in every gathering, the remembrance of Allah must be present, and sending blessings (salat) upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is also necessary. However, some forms of salat and salam and their various modes of recitation that have started in our era are not found in the time of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or the era of the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum. These are inventions of people themselves. If they consider them to be Sunnah and a means of reward, then this is an innovation (bid‘ah).
➋ In collective remembrance (dhikr), the best method is teaching and learning, and instruction and education.
➌ There is also no harm in sitting together in one place and reciting the remembrance of Allah and salat upon the Prophet in one’s own way.
