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.’ “

At-Tufail bin ‘Amr came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The tribe of Daus has dis –

them.” The people thought that the Prophet would invoke Allah’s wrath for them, but he said, “O Al –
lah! Guide the tribe Of Daus and let them come to us,”

Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet) said, “On Friday there is a particular time. If a Muslim happens to be
praying and invoking Allah for something good during that time, Allah will surely fulfill his request.”
