Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19464a
"مَا مِنْ عبْد يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيتِه إلَّا كانَ بَين حِفَافَينِ مِنْ خَلقِ اللهِ، كُلُّهُمْ بَاسطٌ يَدَهُ، فَاغِر فَاهُ، يُريدُ هَلَكتَهُ، وَلوْلا مَا وَكَّل الله به من الحَفَظَة لأهْلَكُوهُ وَتَقُولُ الحَفَظَةُ: إلَيكُمْ، إِلَيكُمْ حَتَّى يَأذَنَ الله ﷻ فِيهِ، فَيَدْرَءُونَ عَنْهُ مَا لَمْ يُقَدَّر عَلَيهِ فِي اللَّوْح المَحفُوظِ، وَلا يدْرَأُونَ عَنْهُ شَيئا مِمَّا قُدرَ عَلَيهِ، وَلَوْ تَرَايا لابْنِ آدَمَ مَا وُكِّلَ بِهِ مِن الشَّيَاطِينِ لَتَرَايَا لَهُ في السَّهْلِ وَالجَبَلِ بِمَنْزِلة الذباب عَلى الجِيفَةِ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"No servant leaves his house except that he is between two sides of Allah's creation, all of them stretching out their hands, opening their mouths, wanting his destruction. Had it not been for the guardians Allah has appointed over him, they would have destroyed him. The guardians say: 'Come to you, come to you,' until Allah, the Exalted, permits concerning him. They ward off from him what was not decreed for him in the Preserved Tablet, but they do not ward off from him anything that has been decreed for him. Even if the son of Adam could see the devils appointed over him, they would appear to him in the plain and the mountain like flies upon carrion."
