وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى وَكَّلَ بِعَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَلَكَيْنِ يَكْتُبَانِ عَمَلَهُ، فَإِذَا قَبَضَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَبْدَهُ الْمُؤْمِنَ، قَالَا: يَا رَبِّ، وَكَّلْتَنَا بِعَبْدِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِ نَكْتُبُ عَمَلَهُ، وَقَدْ قَبَضْتَهُ إِلَيْكَ، فَأْذَنْ لَنَا أَنْ نَصْعَدَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: سَمَائِي مَمْلُوءَةٌ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِي يَسْجُدُونِي، وَقَالَا: فَأْذَنْ لَنَا أَنْ نَسْكُنَ الْأَرْضَ، قَالَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: أَرْضِي مَمْلُوءَةٌ مِنْ خَلْقِي يَسْجُدُونِي، وَلَكِنْ قُومَا عَلَى قَبْرِ عَبْدِي، فَسَبِّحَانِي، وَهَلِّلَانِي، وَكَبِّرَانِي، وَحَمِّدَانِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَاكْتُبَاهُ لِعَبْدِي

✧ Allah (Exalted) appoints two angels over His believing servant, who record his deeds. When Allah (Mighty and Majestic) takes the soul of His believing servant, they say: "O Lord, You appointed us over Your believing servant to record his deeds, and You have taken him to You. Grant us permission to ascend to heaven." He (Glorified and Exalted) says: "My heaven is full of My angels who glorify Me." They say: "Grant us permission to dwell on earth." He (Mighty and Majestic) says: "My earth is full of My creation who glorify Me. But stand at the grave of My servant, and glorify Me, declare My oneness, magnify Me, and praise Me until the Day of Resurrection, and write it for My servant."
