Sahih Ibn Hibban 857

Translation

✧ Indeed Allah has angels who are extra beyond the recorders of people's deeds. They roam the roads seeking out the people of remembrance. When they find a group remembering Allah, they call to one another, 'Come to what you seek!' They surround them with their wings up to the nearest heaven. Then their Lord asks them, though He knows better than them, 'What are My servants saying?' They say, 'They magnify You, extol You, glorify You, and praise You.' He says, 'Have they seen Me?' They say, 'No.' He says, 'How would it be if they saw Me?' They say, 'If they saw You, they would worship You even more intensely, and glorify, praise, and extol You even more.' He says, 'What are they asking of Me?' They say, 'They ask You for Paradise.' He says, 'Have they seen it?' They say, 'No, by Allah, O Lord.' He says, 'How would it be if they saw it?' They say, 'If they saw it, they would be even more eager for it, more desirous of it, and greater in their longing for it.' He says, 'From what are they seeking refuge?' They say, 'From the Fire.' He says, 'Have they seen it?' They say, 'No, by Allah, O Lord.' He says, 'How would it be if they saw it?' They say, 'If they saw it, they would flee from it even more, run from it even more, and fear it even more.' Then Allah says to His angels, 'I call you to witness that I have forgiven them.' One of the angels said, 'Among them is so-and-so, who is not one of them; he only came for some need.' He said, 'They are the companions; the one who sits with them will not be wretched.'
