Context
WE RELATE FROM the books of at-Tirmidhī and others that Abū Hurayrah
related that the Messenger of Allah
said: “Whoever sits in a gathering in which there is much meaningless chatter and says, before he gets up to leave that gathering: Glory be to You, Allah, and to You be all praise. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I ask You for forgiveness and I repent to You, will be forgiven for all that took place in that gathering.” [1].At-Tirmidhī says that this is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith.
