مَا اجْتَمَعَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَصَاعِداً إِلَّا حَضَرَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مِثْلُهُمْ فَإِنْ دَعَوْا بِخَيْرٍ أَمَّنُوا وَ إِنِ اسْتَعَاذُوا مِنْ شَرٍّ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ لِيَصْرِفَهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ إِنْ سَأَلُوا حَاجَةً تَشَفَّعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ سَأَلُوهُ قَضَاءَهَا وَ مَا اجْتَمَعَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْجَاحِدِينَ إِلَّا حَضَرَهُمْ عَشَرَةُ أَضْعَافِهِمْ مِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ فَإِنْ تَكَلَّمُوا تَكَلَّمَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِنَحْوِ كَلَامِهِمْ وَ إِذَا ضَحِكُوا ضَحِكُوا مَعَهُمْ وَ إِذَا نَالُوا مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ نَالُوا مَعَهُمْ فَمَنِ ابْتُلِيَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِهِمْ فَإِذَا خَاضُوا فِي ذَلِكَ فَلْيَقُمْ وَ لَا يَكُنْ شِرْكَ شَيْطَانٍ وَ لَا جَلِيسَهُ فَإِنَّ غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يَقُومُ لَهُ شَيْءٌ وَ لَعْنَتَهُ لَا يَرُدُّهَا شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَلْيُنْكِرْ بِقَلْبِهِ وَ لْيَقُمْ وَ لَوْ حَلْبَ شَاةٍ أَوْ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, altogether from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Sa’ad, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Ahmad Bin Zakariyya, from Muhammad Bin Khalid Bin Maymoun, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Giyas Bin Ibrahim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There would not gather three <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span> and upwards, except that the Angels the likes of their number would be present. So if they were to supplicate for goodness, they would be saying: ‘Ameen!’ and if they were to seek Refuge from the evil, they would supplicate to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> to Exchange it from them; and if they were to ask for a need, they would intercede to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and ask Him<sup>azwj</sup> for its fulfilment. And there would not gather three from the renegades except ten times their number from the Satans<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup> would be present. So if they were to speak, the Satan<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup> would speak approximate to their speech; and when they laugh, he<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup> would laugh along with them, and if they malign the Guardians<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> of Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, he<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup> malign them<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> along with them. So the one who from the <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span> who is involved with them, and when they indulge in that, so let him arise and do not become a participant with Satan<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup>, and not be seated, for if Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Wrathful, nothing would be able to withstand it, and nothing can repel His<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Curse’. Then he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘So if he is not able to (arise), so let him deny it in his heart, and let him arise (for a while), and even if it is for a time it takes to milk a sheep, or a hiccup of a camel’.
