Addendum: Is the hadith: “Indeed, Allah has angels who travel about seeking out the circles of dhikr” evidence for the permissibility of collective dhikr?

The Shaykh : ... One of them is a scholar who explains some words or some verses, and the others are also listening; and so on. But as for reciting the Qur'an with one voice, or as for remembering Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with one voice; this is among the most detestable of the detestable things that have entered upon the later Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disapproved of raising the voice, not in the mosque; for I have previously mentioned to you his saying: , but he disapproved of the Companions raising their voices in dhikr in the desert, in the wilderness, in the open. That is, as Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said, as in "Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim": "They were on a journey, so when they ascended a high place - i.e., a mountain - they would say Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), and when they descended into a valley they would say Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)." Abu Musa said: "We used to raise our voices." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , to the end of the hadith.
The point is: He said, "Have mercy on yourselves," while they were raising their voices in the desert; because the One you are calling upon is Hearing, Near, and Responsive, to the end of it. Therefore, this understanding of the hadith of the angels and their presence in the gatherings of dhikr, and that they were raising their voices in this gathering; this is an innovated understanding that the scholars of the Salaf do not know at all. Therefore, the hadith should not be interpreted with this interpretation.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
O people, each of you is conversing with his Lord; so let not some of you raise his voice over others in recitation
يا أيها الناس ، كلُّكم يناجي ربَّه ؛ فلا يجهَرْ بعضكم على بعض بالقراءةO people, be gentle with yourselves. Indeed, the One you are calling upon is not deaf nor absent. You are calling upon One who is Hearing and Seeing. You are calling upon One who is closer to one of you than the neck of his mount.
يا أيها الناس ، اربَعُوا على أنفسكم ، إنَّ مَن تدعونَه ليس بأصمَّ ولا غائب ، إنما تدعون سميعًا بصيرًا ، إنما تدعون مَن هو أقربُ إلى أحدكم مِن عنق راحلته إليهThe point is: He said, "Have mercy on yourselves," while they were raising their voices in the desert; because the One you are calling upon is Hearing, Near, and Responsive, to the end of it. Therefore, this understanding of the hadith of the angels and their presence in the gatherings of dhikr, and that they were raising their voices in this gathering; this is an innovated understanding that the scholars of the Salaf do not know at all.
