It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There are some angels of Allah Almighty, who are appointed for a task other than the angels who write the deeds of people. These angels roam the earth. Whenever they see some people engaged in the remembrance of Allah, 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, although He knows better than them, "From where have you come?" They say, "We have come from Your servants. Those people were seeking Paradise, seeking refuge from Hell, and asking forgiveness for their sins from You." Allah asks, "Have they seen Paradise? If they had seen Paradise, what would have happened? They were seeking refuge from Hell; if they had seen Hell, what would have happened?" Allah says, "I have forgiven all their sins." The angels say, "Among them was such-and-such a sinful person who did not come himself but was brought there by some need or compulsion." Allah says, "This is such a gathering that whoever sits with them will never be deprived."
