[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The worst gatherings are the markets and the roads, and the best gatherings are the mosques. So if you do not find a seat in the mosque, then stay in your homes."  

الطبراني:١٨٤٣٦ – حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ثنا بَكَّارُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «شَرُّ الْمَجَالِسِ الْأَسْوَاقُ وَالطُّرُقُ وَخَيْرُ الْمَجَالِسِ الْمَسَاجِدُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجْلِسْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَالْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ»
