It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Verily, there are some angels of Allah Almighty who come in succession; they are angels of the night and angels of the day. They gather at the Fajr and Asr prayers, then they ascend to Allah, those who were among you, and Allah asks them, though He knows best, so He asks: In what state did you leave My servants? They say: We left them while they were praying, and when we came to them, they were also praying.
