sit here?’ They submitted, ‘By Allah we are sitting here only for this
purpose.’ The Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, ‘I have not made you
take oath for any doubt but the thruth is that Gabriel came and told me
that Allah is expressing His pride
on you in front of angels.’”

and those desirous to
stay back stayed. So swiftly the Holy Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) came that he was breathing heavily and his
robe was a little above his holy ankles. He said, ‘Cheer up! This is your Lord Who has opened a door of heavens and is
expressing His pride on you before the angels, saying: Look at My servants;
after performing an obligatory ritual prayer they are waiting for the next
one (prayer).’”

asks angels about His remembers
Hadith #11
Abu Huraira
or Abu Saeed Khudri (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of
Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “There are many angels of
Allah (SWT), other than the ones who record deeds, who wander around on
earth. When they find some people performing remembrance of Allah
(SWT), they call other angels, saying, ‘Come to what you are looking for.’
So they come and cover those people up to the lowest heaven. Then Allah (SWT) says, ‘What
were My servants doing when you left them?’ The angels say, ‘O Lord, we
left them praising You, magnifying You and remembering You.’ Allah (SWT)
says, ‘Have they seen Me?’ They reply, ‘No.’” The Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Allah (SWT) says, ‘What would have
been their condition if they had seen Me?’ They say, ‘If they had seen You,
they would have praised You, magnified You and remembered You far more.’
Allah (SWT) says, ‘What are they asking for?’ They reply, ‘They are asking
You for Paradise.’ He says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ He says,
‘What would have been their state if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If
they had seen it, they would have asked for it more intensely and desired
it more earnestly.’ Allah says, ‘What are they seeking My protection from?’
The angels say, ‘They are seeking Your protection from the Fire.’ Allah
(SWT) says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What
would have been their condition if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If they
had seen it, they would have fled from it, feared it and sought Your refuge
from it even more intensely.’ Allah says, ‘Then bear witness that I
have forgiven them.’ They say, ‘There is so and so a great sinner among
them; he came only for his personal interest and not to join in
remembrance.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘These are such people that even their
companion is not left destitute and unfortunate.’”

their Lord asks them, although He knows better about them, ‘In what state
did you leave My servants?’ The angels reply: ‘They were offering ritual
prayer when we left them while they were also praying when we approached
them.’”
