Allah ‘s Apostle said, “Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah
on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call
each other, saying, “Come to the object of your pursuit.’ ” He added, “Then the angels encircle them
with their wings up to the sky of the world.” He added. “(after those people celebrated the Praises of
Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels)—-though He knows better than
them—-‘What do My slaves say?’ The angels reply, ‘They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Al –
ham-du-lillah, Allah then says ‘Did they see Me?’ The angels reply, ‘No! By Allah, they didn’t see
You.’
Allah says, How it would have been if they saw Me?’ The angels reply, ‘If they saw You, they would
worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from
any resemblance to anything more often.’ Allah says (to the angels), ‘What do they ask Me for?’ The
angels reply, ‘They ask You for Paradise.’ Allah says (to the angels), ‘Did they see it?’ The angels say,
‘No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.’ Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?’ The an –
gels say, ‘If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek It with greater
zeal and would have greater desire for it.’ Allah says, ‘From what do they seek refuge?’ The angels
reply, ‘They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.’ Allah says, ‘Did they see it?’ The angels say, ‘No By Allah,
O Lord! They did not see it.’ Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?’ The angels say, ‘If
they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.’
Then Allah says, ‘I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them.”‘ Allah’s Apostle added, “One of the
angels would say, ‘There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just
come for some need.’ Allah would say, ‘These are those people whose companions will not be re –
duced to misery.’ “

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
The Prophet started ascending a high place or hill. A man (amongst his companions) ascended it
and shouted in a loud voice, “La ilaha illal-lahu wallahu Akbar.” (At that time) Allah’s Apostle was
riding his mule. Allah’s Apostle said, “You are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one.” and added,
“O Abu Musa (or, O ‘Abdullah)! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasure of Paradise?” I said, “Yes.”
He said, “La haul a wala quwwata illa billah,”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 419:

numbers).

Narrated Shaqiq:
While we were waiting for ‘Abdullah (bin Mas’ud). Yazid bin Muawiya came. I said (to him), “Will
you sit down?” He said, “No, but I will go into the house (of Ibn Mas’ud) and let your companion (Ibn
Mas’ud) come out to you; and if he should not (come out), I will come out and sit (with you).” Then
‘Abdullah came out, holding the hand of Yazid, addressed us, saying, “I know that you are assembled
here, but the reason that prevents me from coming out to you, is that Allah’s Apostle used to preach
to us at intervals during the days, lest we should become bored.”
