It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at the Fajr and Asr prayers. When they gather at the Fajr prayer, the angels of the night ascend and the angels of the day remain. Similarly, when they gather at the Asr prayer, the angels of the day ascend and the angels of the night remain. Then their Lord asks them: In what state did you leave My servants? They say: When we came to them, they were praying, and when we left them, they were praying. Sulaiman al-A’mash says: I think the narrator also mentioned these words (of the angels’ supplication): So forgive these people on the Day of Resurrection.
