These two hadiths are among the hadiths mentioned by the author (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book *Riyad al-Salihin*. In the first, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that:Sunan Abi Dawud 1455Sahih (Al-Albani) This indicates the virtue of gathering to remember Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is not required from this that they remember Allah with one voice; rather, the hadith is general. However, it is not known from the Salaf that they used to perform collective dhikr as some of the people of the Sufi paths and others do.

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: لا يقعد قوم يذكرون الله إلا حفتهم الملائكة وغشيتهم الرحمة ونزلت عليهم السكينة وذكرهم الله فيمن عندهAbu Waqid Al-Harith bin 'Auf (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting in the mosque with his Companions when three people came to him. Two of them stepped forward to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the third went away. Those two men stood by the side of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). One of them found a space in the circle and he filled it, while the other one sat behind him. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished, he said, "Shall I not inform you about these three people? One of them sought refuge with Allah and Allah gave him refuge; the second one felt shy and Allah showed kindness to his shyness (and so he was accommodated in that meeting), and the last one averted, and so Allah turned away His Attention from him." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] .
أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بينما هو جالس في المسجد والناس معه إذ أقبل ثلاثة نفر فأقبل اثنان إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وذهب واحد فوقفا على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأما أحدهما فرأى فرجة في الحلقة فجلس فيها، وأما الآخر فجلس خلفهم، وأما الثالث فأدبر ذاهبًا، فلما فرغ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ألا أخبركم عن النفر الثلاثة أما أحدهم فأوى إلى الله فآواه الله، وأما الآخر فاستحيا فاستحيا الله منه، وأما الآخر فأعرض فأعرض الله عنهThe Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
