Thabit says: A resident of Syria narrated to us, that man used to stay with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) and would listen to his words. He says: Once I was with him when he met Nauf. Nauf said: It has been conveyed to us that Allah Almighty said to the angels: Call My servants for Me. They said: O Lord! How should we call them when there are seven heavens as barriers before them and above them is the Throne? Allah Almighty said: When they say LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH, then they will respond.
