"عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: إِنَّ آخِرَ لَيْلَةٍ أَتَتْ عَلَى عَلِىٍّ جَعَلَ لَا يَسْتَقِرُّ فَارْتَابَ بِهِ أَهْلُهُ فَجَعَلَ يَدُسُّ بَعْضُهُم إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا فَنَاشَدُوهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ إلَّا وَمَعَهُ مَلَكَانِ يَدْفَعَانِ عَنْهُ مَا لَمْ يُقَدَّرْ أَوْ قَالَ: مَا لَمْ يَأتِ الْقَدَرُ، فَإِذَا أَتَى الْقَدَرُ خَلَّيَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقَدَرِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِد فَقُتِلَ".

"From Qatadah, who said: On the last night that came upon 'Ali, he could not settle down, so his family became suspicious of him. They began to send some of them to others until they gathered, and they urged him to tell them. He said: 'There is no servant except that with him are two angels who push away from him what has not been decreed, or he said: what the decree has not come upon. When the decree comes, they leave him between himself and the decree.' Then he went out to the mosque and was killed."
