Abu Hurairah reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has angels who roam the roads searching for people engaged in remembrance. When they find a group remembering Allah, they call out to one another, 'Come to what you have been seeking!'"He said, "They envelop them with their wings up to the lowest heaven."He said, "Their Lord then asks them, though He knows better than they do, 'What are My servants saying?'"They reply, "They are glorifying You, magnifying You, praising You, and exalting You."He says, "Have they seen Me?"They reply, "No, by Allah, they have not seen You."He says, "And how would it be if they had seen Me?"They say, "If they had seen You, they would worship You more intensely, exalt You more greatly, praise You more abundantly, and glorify You more frequently."He says, "What are they asking of Me?"They reply, "They are asking You for Paradise."He says, "Have they seen it?"They reply, "No, by Allah, our Lord, they have not seen it."He says, "And how would it be if they had seen it?"They say, "If they had seen it, they would be even more eager for it, more earnest in seeking it, and more deeply desirous of it."He says, "And from what are they seeking refuge?"They reply, "From the Fire."He says, "Have they seen it?"They reply, "No, by Allah, our Lord, they have not seen it."He says, "And how would it be if they had seen it?"They say, "If they had seen it, they would flee from it more swiftly and fear it more deeply."He says, "I call you to witness that I have forgiven them."One of the angels among them says, "Among them is so-and-so, who is not really one of them. He only came for some need."He says, "They are a gathering whose companion is never made wretched."Shuba narrated it from Amash without raising it to the Prophet, and Suhayl narrated it from his father from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد حدثنا جرير عن الأعمش عن أبي صالح

عن أبي هريرة قال

قال رسول الله ﷺ إن لله ملائكة يطوفون في الطرق يلتمسون أهل الذكر فإذا وجدوا قوما يذكرون الله تنادوا هلموا إلى حاجتكم قال فيحفونهم بأجنحتهم إلى السماء الدنيا قال فيسألهم ربهم وهو أعلم منهم ما يقول عبادي قالوا يقولون يسبحونك ويكبرونك ويحمدونك ويمجدونك قال فيقول هل رأوني قال فيقولون لا والله ما رأوك قال فيقول وكيف لو رأوني قال يقولون لو رأوك كانوا أشد لك عبادة وأشد لك تمجيدا وتحميدا وأكثر لك تسبيحا قال يقول فما يسألوني قال يسألونك الجنة قال يقول وهل رأوها قال يقولون لا والله يا رب ما رأوها قال يقول فكيف لو أنهم رأوها قال يقولون لو أنهم رأوها كانوا أشد عليها حرصا وأشد لها طلبا وأعظم فيها رغبة قال فمم يتعوذون قال يقولون من النار قال يقول وهل رأوها قال يقولون لا والله يا رب ما رأوها قال يقول فكيف لو رأوها قال يقولون لو رأوها كانوا أشد منها فرارا وأشد لها مخافة قال فيقول فأشهدكم أني قد غفرت لهم قال يقول ملك من الملائكة فيهم فلان ليس منهم إنما جاء لحاجة قال هم الجلساء لا يشقى بهم جليسهم رواه شعبة عن الأعمش ولم يرفعه ورواه سهيل عن أبيه عن أبي هريرة عن النبي ﷺ
