[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "The worst gatherings are the markets and roads, and the best gatherings are the mosques. So if you don't sit in the mosque, then stay in your house."  

الطبراني:١٨٤٣٧ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ السِّرَاجُ قَالَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّرْجُمَانِيُّ ثنا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ ثنا مَكْحُولٌ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ قَالَ

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