Furthermore, this Hadith teaches us three important etiquettes related to religious gatherings, circles of knowledge, and other gatherings for the remembrance of Allah Almighty.

1. Fill empty spaces

Whenever you attend a religious gathering, a circle of knowledge, or any similar event, you should try to sit as close as possible to the speaker. This way, you can listen to and understand the speech with full concentration and ease. If there is an empty space in the gathering place or circle, fill it.

Notice that in the blessed gathering of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, one of noble Companions رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُم saw an empty spot and immediately went forward to sit there. Regarding this, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم explained:

اٰوٰی اِلَی اللہِ فَاٰوَاہُ اللہُ

He sought refuge in Allah, so Allah granted him refuge.

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه We should also strive to fill any empty spaces when attending religious gatherings or circles of knowledge, instead of sitting scattered around the room. The downside of sitting scattered is that hearts can become distant. If we sit together, close to one another, by the will of Allah Almighty, we will receive many blessings.

اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه It will also make it easier for us to hear and understand the religious discussions being shared.

2. Sit wherever you find space

This Hadith also teaches us the second etiquette: When you arrive at a gathering or circle and you do not find space at the front, do not jump
