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.

We relate in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd and others that Abū Barazah , whose name was Nadalah, narrated: “The last thing that the Messenger of Allah said when he was about to get up from a gathering was: ‘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.’ A man said to him: ‘Messenger of Allah, you have said something that you have never said before.’ He replied: ‘That was an atonement for whatever happened in the gathering.’” [2].Al-Ḥākim in his Mustadrak says of a version from ‘Ā’ishah that the isnād is ṣaḥīḥ.

It is related in Ḥilyat al-awliyā’ that ‘Alī said: “Whoever wants his deeds to be judged by a perfect measure should say at the end of a gathering or when he stands up: ‘Glory be to your Lord, Lord of Majesty, above all that they ascribe to Him, and peace be upon the Messengers, and all praise be to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe.” [3].
