It
was narrated that Abu Obeida said that Jabir bin Zaid said that Ibn Abbas said:
Once the Prophet (Prayers & peace be upon him) entered into the Mosque, and
saw his companions sitting in groups (forming circles) acquiring and imparting
different types of knowledge. In the first circle, the companions were busy in
reciting the Quran he joined them for a while and said: "With this my Lord
Has sent me." Then he stood up and went to the second circle. He found
them discussing Halal (lawful) and Haram (unlawful). He joined them and said
nothing. Then he stood up and went to the third circle. He found them
glorifying God, remembering Tawheed (monotheism or the oneness of God) and
denying partners, equals, companions, or associates to God. He joined them for
a longer time and said: "With this my Lord Has ordered me."
"Because
Tawheed is knowing God Almighty and who does not know Tawheed is not a
believer." Jabir said.

It was narrated that Abu Obeida said that Jabir bin Zaid said: I was
informed that while the Messenger of God (Prayers & peace be upon him) was
sitting in the mosque, three men came in. Two of them went in front of the
Messenger of God (PBUH) and the third one went away. When the two kept on
standing before the Messenger of God (PBUH), they greeted the Prophet and his
companions. Then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there while
the other sat behind the gathering. The Messenger of God said: "Shall I
tell you about these three persons?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of
God". He said: "One of them sought God, so God took him into His
grace and mercy, the second felt shy of God, so God sheltered Him in His mercy
(and did not punish him), while the third turned his face away from God, so God
turned His face away from him likewise."
