فَقَدْ أَفْصَحَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى بِقَوْلِهِ-...
فَقَدْ أَفْصَحَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى بِقَوْلِهِ- فَلا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ بِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى- أَنْ إِذا سَمِعْتُمْ آياتِ اللَّهِ يُكْفَرُ بِها وَ يُسْتَهْزَأُ بِها فَلا تَقْعُدُوا مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ إِنَّكُمْ إِذاً مِثْلُهُمْ يَعْنِي فِي الْإِثْمِ وَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَهُ- وَ لا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ.
Allah -azwj the Glorious and Exalted has Disclosed by His -azwj words: so after remembering, do not sit with the unjust people [6:68] ; whenever you hear Signs of Allah being disbelieved in and mocked with, so do not be sitting with them until they engage in a discussion other than it; then you would be like them; [4:140] – meaning in the sin; and the Glorious Said: And you should not incline towards those who are unjust, so the Fire would touch you, [11:113] ’’.
[10] وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اعْتَزَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ الدُّنْيَا عَنْهُمْ فَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلدُّنْيَا أَ لَا تَرَيْنَ مَا يَصْنَعُونَ فَتَقُولُ الدُّنْيَا دَعْهُمْ فَلَوْ قَدْ تَفَرَّقُوا أَخَذْتُ بِأَعْنَاقِهِمْ. And the Prophet -saww said: ‘When a group of people gather, mentioning Allah -azwj the Exalted, the Satan -la and the world isolates from them.
The Satan -la says to the world, ‘Do you not see what they are doing?’ The world said, ‘Leave them, for when they disperse, I shall seize them by their necks!’’ [11] وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْمَجَالِسُ ثَلَاثَةٌ غَانِمٌ وَ سَالِمٌ وَ شَاحِبٌ فَأَمَّا الْغَانِمُ فَالَّذِي يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فِيهِ وَ أَمَّا السَّالِمُ فَالسَّاكِتُ وَ أَمَّا الشَّاحِبُ فَالَّذِي يَخُوضُ فِي الْبَاطِلِ.
And the Prophet -saww said: ‘The gathering is of three (types of people) – a gainer, and a safe one, and (one resembling) a dead. As for the gainer, he is the one who does Zikr of Allah -azwj the Exalted in it, and as for the safe one, he is the silent, and as for the (one resembling) the dead, he is the one who dives into the falsehood’’. [12] وَ قَالَ ص الْجَلِيسُ الصَّالِحُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْوَحْدَةِ وَ الْوَحْدَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ جَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ.
And he -saww said: ‘Sitting with the righteous one is better than being alone and being alone is better than sitting with the evil one’’.
