[Machine] "Indeed, every gathering has its honor, and the most honorable of gatherings is the one facing the direction of prayer."  

الزهد لأحمد:١١٩٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ بُرْدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ

«إِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَجْلِسٍ شَرَفًا وَأَشْرَفُ الْمَجَالِسِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ»
