Question:
The hadith
No people get together in a house of the houses of Allahما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 1455Sahih (Al-Albani)
the hadith, and Allah mentions them among those with Him. Is it permissible to assert that Allah mentions by name everyone who did this?

Answer:
We hope, we hope, I ask you, my brother, that we do not assert this for anyone, because we do not know people’s intentions or their purposes. Only Allah knows this. So we hope for the one who does good, and we fear for the one who does evil. Yes.
