[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Indeed, Allah has angels who roam seeking gatherings of remembrance, so He mentioned something similar to it."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ ﷻ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضُلًا يَلْتَمِسُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

Allah 's Apostle said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call each other, saying, "Come to the object of your pursuit.' " He added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added. "(after those people celebrated the Praises of Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels)----though He knows better than them----'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alham-du-li l-lah, Allah then says 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.' Allah says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The angels reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek It with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.' Allah says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allah says, 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.' Then Allah says, 'I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them."' Messenger of Allah ﷺ added, "One of the angels would say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just come for some need.' Allah would say, 'These are those people whose companions will not be reduced to misery.' "

Where have you come from? They say: We come from Thine servants upon the earth who had been glorifying Thee (reciting Subhan Allah), uttering Thine Greatness (saying Allah o-Akbar) and uttering Thine Oneness (La ilaha ill Allah) and praising Thee (uttering al-Hamdu Lillah) and begging of Thee. Be would say: What do they beg of Me? They would say: They beg of Thee the Paradise of Thine. He (God) would say: Have they seen My Paradise? They said: No, our Lord. He would say: (What it would be then) if they were to see Mine Paradise? They (the angels) said: They seek Thine protection. He (the Lord) would say: Against what do they seek protection of Mine? They (the angels) would say: Our Lord, from the Hell-Fire. He (the Lord) would say: Have they seen My Fire? They would say: No. He (the Lord) would say: What it would be if they were to see My Fire? They would say: They beg of Thee forgiveness. He would say: I grant pardon to them, and confer upon them what they ask for and grant them protection against which they seek protection. They (the angels) would again say: Our Lord, there is one amongst them such and such simple servant who happened to pass by (that assembly) and sat there along with them (who had been participating in that assembly). He (the Lord) would say: I also grant him pardon, for they are a people the seat-fellows of whom are in no way unfortunate.

“Indeed, Allah has angels who go about on the earth in addition to the Kuttab of people. So when they find groups of people remembering Allah, they call to one another: ‘Come to that which you have been seeking.’ They will come and cover them up to the lowest heaven. Allah will say: ‘What were My worshippers doing when you left them?’ They will say: ‘We left them as they were praising You, glorifying You, and remembering You.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘Have they seen Me?’ They say: ‘No.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘How would it be had they seen Me?’ They will say: ‘Had they seen You, they would have been more ardent in praise of You, more ardent in glorification of You, more ardent in remembrance of You.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘And what do they seek?’” He ﷺ said: “They will say: ‘They seek Paradise.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘So have they seen it?’” He ﷺ said: “So they will say: ‘No.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘So how would it be had they seen it?’” He ﷺ said: “They will say: ‘Had they seen it, they would be more ardent in seeking it, and more eager for it.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘So from what thing do they seek refuge?’ They will say: ‘They seek refuge from the Fire.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘And have they seen it?’ So they will say: ‘No.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘So how would it be had they seen it?’ So they will say: ‘Had they seen it, they would be more ardent in fear of it, and more ardent in seeking refuge from it.’” He ﷺ said: “So He will say: ‘So I do call You to witness that I have forgiven them.’ So they will say: ‘Indeed among them is so-and-so, a sinner, he did not intend them, he only came to them for some need.’ So He will say: ‘They are the people, that none who sits with them shall be miserable.’”

They come together whenever remembrance is mentioned, and ascend from one gathering to another until they reach the heavens. Allah then asks them, even though He already knows, 'Where have you come from?' They reply, 'We have come from Your servants who were seeking Paradise, seeking refuge from Hell, and seeking Your forgiveness.' Allah then asks, 'Have they seen My Paradise?' They reply, 'No, but they believe in it with certainty.' Allah asks again, 'And have they seen Hell?' They reply, 'No, but they seek protection from it.' Allah says, 'If they were to see My Paradise, how would it be for them?' The angels respond, 'It would increase them in faith and devotion.' Allah then asks, 'And if they were to see My Hell, how would it be for them?' The angels respond, 'It would increase them in fear and obedience.' Allah says, 'I have forgiven them.' The angels reply, 'O Lord, among them is a person who happened to be passing by and sat down among them due to necessity.' Allah says, 'Those who sit among them will not be unfortunate.'"

[Machine] Jabir ibn Abdullah said, "The Prophet ﷺ came out to us and said, 'O people, indeed Allah has gardens among the angels that come to sit in gatherings of remembrance on earth, so spread yourselves in the gardens of Paradise.' They asked, 'And where are the gardens of Paradise?' He said, 'The gatherings of remembrance. So rise and go in the remembrance of Allah and remind yourselves. Whoever would like to know their position with Allah, let them look at Allah's position with them. Indeed, Allah will lower the servant from their position as according to their own self.'"

They respond: 'They would be even more fearful and committed to avoiding it.' Then Allah says: 'Bear witness, O angels, that I have forgiven them and granted them what they asked for, and I have accepted their seeking of my protection.' They say: 'Our Lord, among them is a servant who is a sinner. He happens to be sitting amongst them, although he is not truly one of them.' Allah says, 'He too is forgiven, for they are a people whose sitting companions will not be unfortunate.'"

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Verily, Allah has angels who go around in the streets, seeking out the people of remembrance. When they find a group remembering Allah, they call out to one another, 'Come to what you desire!' and they encompass them with their wings until they reach the lowest heaven. Then their Lord asks them, while He is more knowledgeable about them than they are about themselves, 'What are My servants saying?' They reply, 'They are glorifying You, magnifying You, praising You, and extolling You.' He then asks, 'Have they seen Me?' They reply, 'No.' He says, 'How would they react if they were to see Me?' They reply, 'If they were to see You, they would worship You even more ardently, glorify You more, magnify You more, and praise You more.' He asks, 'What do they seek from Me?' They reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' He asks, 'Have they seen it?' They reply, 'No, O Lord.' He says, 'How would they react if they were to see it?' They reply, 'If they were to see it, they would have even greater desire for it, and they would seek it even more fervently.' He asks, 'What do they seek refuge from?' They reply, 'They seek refuge with You from the Hellfire.' He asks, 'Have they seen it?' They reply, 'No, O Lord.' He says, 'How would they react if they were to see it?' They reply, 'If they were to see it, they would fear it even more and flee from it even more desperately.' Allah then says to His angels, 'Bear witness that I have forgiven them.' A angel among the angels says, 'But there is a person among them who did not come for any specific need, rather he just happened to be there.' Allah replies, 'They are a group whose company will not cause anyone to be unhappy.'"

"إِنَّ للَّه تعَالى مَلَائِكة سَيَّاحين في الأَرض فُضْلًا عَنْ كُتَّاب النَّاس، يَطُوفُونَ في الطرُق، يَلْتَمسُونَ أهْلَ الذِّكر، فإِذا وجدوا قَوْفا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ تَنَادَوْا: هَلُمُّوا إِلى حَاجَتكم، فَيحُفُونهم بأَجْنِحَتهِم إِلى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَيَسْأَلَهُم رَبُّهُم وهو أعْلَمُ منهم: ما يقُولُ عِبَادِى؟ فَيقُولون: يُسَبِّحُونكَ، وَيُكبِّرُونكَ وَيَحْمدُونَكَ ويُمَجِّدونك، فيقولُ: هلْ رَأَوْنِى؟ فيقُولون: لا واللَّهِ ما رَأَوْكَ، فيقولُ: كيْفَ لوْ رَأَونى؟ فيقُولون: لوْ رَأَوْكَ كانُوا أشَدَّ لك عبَادة، وَأَشدَّ لك تَمْجِيدًا، وأَكثر لك تسْبِيحًا فيقول: فما يسأَلونى؟ فيقولون: يسأَلونك الجَنَّة. فيَقُول: وهل رأَوها؟ فيقولون: لا: واللَّه يارب ما رأَوها فيقول: فكيف لو أَنَّهُمْ رَأوها؟ فيَقُولُون: لوْ أَنَّهم رأَوها كانوا أشدَّ عليها حِرْصًا، وأشدَّ لها طلبًا، وأَعْظَمَ فيها رغبةً قَال: فَممَّ يتعوذون؟ فَيَقُولون: من النَّار، فيَقُول اللَّه: ﷻ: وهل رَأَوها؟ فيقُولون: لا واللَّه يا ربِّ ما رَأَوْها، فيقولُ: فكيف لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فيَقولون لوْ رَأَوْها كَانوا أشدَّ مِنْها فِرَارًا، وأَشدَّ لها مَخافة، فيقُولُ: فأُشهدكم: أَنِى قدْ غفرْتُ لهُمْ: فيقُول مَلكٌ من الملائكة: فيهم فلانٌ ليسَ منْهم، إِنَّما جَاءَ لحَاجَةٍ فيَقُولُ: هُمْ القومُ لا يَشْقى بهم جَليسهُم".

"إِنَّ للَّهِ ﷻ سيارةً من الملائكة، يَتبعُون حِلَقَ الذكر، فَإِذا مرُّوا بِحِلَقِ الذِّكْر قال بعضُهم لبعض: اقْعُدُوا، فَإِذا دَعَا القومُ أَمَّنُوا على دعائِهم، فإِذا صلَّوا على النبى ﷺ صَلَّوا مَعَهُم، حتى يفرُغوا، ثم يقول بعضُهم لبعض: طُوبى لهم، لا يرجعونَ إِلا مغفورًا لهم".  

ابن النجار عن أَبى هريرة ؓ
