O you who believe! when you are asked to extend the circle (leaving reasonable space between one another when sitting together) in your assemblies, then do extend it. Allâh will make ample room for you. And disperse when you are told to disperse. Allâh will exalt such of you as believe and such of you as have been given knowledge, to high degrees (of rank). And Allâh is Well-Aware of what you do.

Commentary 58:11 Commenting on this verse Râzî writes, It indicates that if one widens the means of well-being towards Allâh’s creatures, Allâh will widen for him all…
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا فِي الْمَجَالِسِ فَافْسَحُوا يَفْسَحِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ انشُزُوا فَانشُزُوا يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ
58:11 Commenting on this verse Râzî writes, It indicates that if one widens the means of well-being towards Allâh’s creatures, Allâh will widen for him all that is good. Literally, the word al-Majâlisالْمَجَالِسِ refers to the assemblies held by the Holy Prophet (pbuh), when his Companions would throng around him in their eagerness to listen to him and to the congregations in the Mosques. However, since the noun Majâlisمَجَالِسِ is in plural, it refers according to Râzî, also to the human society as a whole. Ibn Jarîr says that the word Inshazûانشُزُواalso means that, whoever is called openly to do a good deed, should respond to this call. The believers should spend some money in charity on the poor before going to read the Holy Qur’ân for consultation of their daily affairs. This commandment has not been rescinded; however, it is not obligatory, but optional and preferable.
