Salawat: Prevent a Gathering from Becoming a Burden

Hawzah News Agency- Imam Sadiq (pbuh) said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ، إِلَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ المَجْلِسُ حَسْرَةً وَوَبَالًا عَلَيْهِمْ.

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “No group gathers in a meeting without mentioning the Name of Allah, and without sending blessings upon their Prophet, except that their meeting becomes a cause of regret and misfortune for them.
