The Three Gatherings
192 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us: Yaʿqūb ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rajāʾ narrated to us: Isrāʾīl narrated to us, from an old man, from Abū al-Dardāʾ: "Gatherings are three: a gathering in the cause of Allah, a gathering in one of the houses of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, wherein one remembers Allah so He is remembered through him, and a gathering in your house where you harm no one and no one harms you."
