QUESTIONING OF THE ANGELS

1066

“A succession of angels visit you during the night and also during the day. They assemble together during the dawn prayer and the afternoon prayer. Then those of them who had spent the night among you ascend to heaven and Allah inquires from them (though He knows better than they): ‘What condition did you leave My worshipers in?’ They answer, ‘They were praying when we came to them and they were praying when we left them.’”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
