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.‟"
Muslim narrated this.
