WHAT THE ANGELS LOOK FOR H 1479 "Allah has a company of angels who travel constantly looking for gatherings that meet together for the remembrance of Allah. When they find a gathering of remembrance they sit down with them and cover one another with their wings so that the space between them and the sky is filled. When the gathering disperses the angels arise and ascend to the heaven. Allah, the Mighty, the Glorified, asks them - and Allah is most Knowledgeable - 'Where have you come from?' They answer, 'We have come from some of Your worshipers on earth who proclaim Your Holiness, Your Greatness and Your Oneness, praising You and supplicating to You.' Allah inquires, 'What do they ask of Me?' The angels answer. 'They ask of You Your Paradise.' Allah inquires, 'Have they seen My Paradise?' They answer, 'No, Lord.' Then He inquires, 'What if they were to see My Paradise?' The angels then say, 'They also seek Your protection.' Allah inquires, 'From what do they seek My protection?' They answer, 'From Your Fire, O Lord.' Then He asks, 'Have they seen my Fire?' They reply, 'No.' And He inquires, 'What if they were to see My Fire?' Then the angels say, 'And they ask for Your forgiveness.' Then Allah, the Exalted says, 'I have forgiven them, and given them what they ask for and have granted them My protection against that from which they seek protection.' The angels then say, 'O, Lord, there was among them a worshiper who has committed a lot of sins who happened to pass by and sat down among them.' Allah, the Exalted says, 'I have forgiven him also. They are a gathering of people, their attendant shall not be unfortunate.'" R 1479 Muslim narrated this. ANGELS SURROUND THOSE MAKING ZIKR AND ALLAH MENTIONS THEM H 1480 "When people gather for the remembrance of Allah its members are surrounded by angels and they are covered by mercy, and comfort descends upon them and Allah makes mention of them to those around Him." R 1480 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Sa'id Khudri and Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
