حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، نَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّ لِلهِ مَلَائِكَةً فُضُلًا عَنْ كُتَّابِ النَّاسِ، يَطُوفُونَ فِي الذِّكْرِ - أَوْ فِي الْأَرْضِ - وَيَلْتَمِسُونَ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ، فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا قَوْمًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ تَنَادَوْا: هَلُمَّ إِلَى حَاجَتِكُمْ، فَيَحُفُّونَ بِهِمْ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، قَالَ: فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ: مَا يَقُولُ عِبَادِي ؟ فَقَالُوا: يَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَكَ، فَيَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْنِي ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْكَ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ عِبَادَةً وَأَشَدَّ تَحْمِيدًا وَأَكْثَرَ لَكَ تَسْبِيحًا، فَيَقُولُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: فَمَا يَسْأَلُونَ ؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: يَسْأَلُونَكَ الْجَنَّةَ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا وَاللهِ، مَا رَأَوْهَا، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: كَيْفَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهَا ؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: كَانُوا أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهَا حِرْصًا، وَأَشَدَّ لَهَا طَلَبًا، وَأَعْظَمَ فِيهَا رَغْبَةً، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَمِمَّ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ ؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنَ النَّارِ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: هَلْ رَأَوْهَا ؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَا وَاللهِ مَا رَأَوْهَا، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا ؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهَا فِرَارًا، وَأَشَدَّ مِنْهَا هَرَبًا، وَأَشَدَّ لَهَا مَخَافَةً، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: فَأُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ: إِنَّ فِيهِمْ فُلَانًا لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ، إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِحَاجَةٍ، قَالَ: هُمُ الْجُلَسَاءُ لَا يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيسُهُمْ

✧ Indeed, Allah has angels who are extra beyond the recorders of people's deeds; they roam about in remembrance—or on the earth—and seek out the people of remembrance. When they find a group remembering Allah, they call to one another: 'Come to what you seek!' Then they surround them with their wings up to the lowest heaven. He said: Then their Lord asks them, though He knows best: 'What are My servants saying?' They say: 'They praise You, glorify You, and extol You.' Then He, Blessed and Exalted, says: 'How would it be if they saw Me?' They say: 'If they saw You, they would be more intense in worship, more intense in praise, and more frequent in glorifying You.' Then He, Mighty and Majestic, says: 'What do they ask for?' He said: They say: 'They ask You for Paradise.' He said: Then He, Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Have they seen it?' They say: 'No, by Allah, they have not seen it.' He said: Then He says: 'How would it be if they saw it?' He said: They say: 'They would be more eager for it, more earnest in seeking it, and greater in desire for it.' He said: Then He says: 'From what do they seek refuge?' He said: They say: 'From the Fire.' He said: Then He, Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Have they seen it?' He said: They say: 'No, by Allah, they have not seen it.' He said: Then He says: 'How would it be if they saw it?' He said: They say: 'If they saw it, they would flee from it more intensely, run from it more vigorously, and fear it more greatly.' He said: Then He, Blessed and Exalted, says: 'I call you to witness that I have forgiven them.' He said: Then one of the angels says: 'Among them is so-and-so, who is not one of them; he only came for some need.' He said: 'They are the companions; their companion will not be wretched.'
