ahmad:11137Abū ʿĀmir > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū al-Mawālī

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: "Indeed, the best gatherings are the most spacious. Then he stepped aside and sat in a wide gathering."  

أحمد:١١١٣٧حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَوَالِي حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَأُخْبِرَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَعَادَ تَخَلَّفَ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَ النَّاسُ مَجَالِسَهُمْ جَاءَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْقَوْمُ تَشَذَّبُوا عَنْهُ فَقَامَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِيَجْلِسَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ فَقَالَ لَا إِنِّي

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ الْمَجَالِسِ أَوْسَعُهَا ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى وَجَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاسِعٍ
