It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) or Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are some angels of Allah, who are appointed for a task other than the angels who write the deeds of people. These angels roam about on the earth. Whenever these angels see some people engaged in the remembrance of Allah, they call out to each other, saying, "Come to your objective." Thus, they all gather together and cover those people up to the sky of the world. (Then when they ascend to the heavens,) Allah asks them, "In what state did you leave My servants?" They say, "We left them while they were praising and glorifying You and remembering You." Allah asks, "Have they seen Me?" They say, "No." Allah asks, "If they had seen Me, what would have happened?" They say, "If they had seen You, they would have been even more intensely engaged in Your praise, glorification, and remembrance." Allah asks, "What were they seeking?" They say, "They were seeking Paradise." Allah asks, "Have they seen Paradise?" They say, "No." Allah asks, "If they had seen Paradise, what would have happened?" They say, "If they had seen Paradise, they would have been even more eager and desirous for it." Allah asks, "From what were they seeking refuge?" They say, "From Hell." Allah asks, "Have they seen Hell?" They say, "No." Allah asks, "If they had seen Hell, what would have happened?" They say, "If they had seen Hell, they would have fled from it even more intensely and feared it even more." Allah says, "Bear witness that I have forgiven all of them their sins." The angels say, "Among them is such-and-such a sinful person who did not come for their gathering, but some need or compulsion brought him." Allah says, "This is a group whose companion will never be deprived."
