Arabic hadith text

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَقْعُدُ قَوْمٌ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا حَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَيْمَنْ عِنْدَهُ» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Translation

Abu Hurayrah and Abu Sa‘id (may God be pleased with them both) reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘No people sit remembering God without angels surrounding them, mercy covering them, tranquility descending upon them, and God mentioning them among those with Him.’ Muslim transmitted it. The Arabic source grades it sahih (al-Albani).
