Pearls of Remembrance

Chapter 6: Allah (SWT) asks angels about His rememberers

1. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: إِن لِلهِ مَلَائِكَةً فُضُلًا عَنْ كُتَّابِ النَّاسِ، يَمْشُوْنَ فِي الطُّرُقِ، يَلْتَمِسُوْنَ الذِّكْرَ. فَإِذَا رَأَوْا أَقْوَامًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى تَنَادَوْا: هَلُمُّوا إِلَى حَاجَاتِكُمْ. فَيَحُفُّونَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمِاءِ. فَيَسْأَلُهُم رَبُّهُم جَلَّ وَعَلَا - وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ - فَيَقُولُ: عِبَادِيْ مَا يَقُولُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا رَبِّ، يُسَبِّحُوْنَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ. فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: كَيْفَ لَو رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَو رَأَوْكَ، لَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ تَسْبِيْحًا وَتَمْجِيْدًا وَتَكْبِيْرًا وَتَحْمِيْدًا. فَيَقُولُ: مَاذَا يَسْأَلُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: يَسْأَلُونَكَ، يَا رَبِّ، الْجَنَّةَ. فَيَقُولُ لَهُم: هَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: كَيْفَ لَو رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَو قَدْ رَأَوْهَا، كَانُوْا أَشَدَّ طَلَبًا وَأَشَدَّ حِرْصًا. فَيَقُولُ: فَمِمَّ يَتَعَوَّذُوْنَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: يَتَعَوَّذُونَ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ. فَيَقُولُ: فَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: كَيْفَ لَو رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَو قَدْ رَأَوْهَا، كَانُوا أَشَدَّ تَعَوُّذًا. فَيَقُولُ: فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ.
According to Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “There are angels of Allah (SWT), other than those who keep a record of people’s actions, who walk around in the streets in search of rememberers of Allah. When they see these rememberers they call the other angels, saying, ‘Come to your coveted company.’ Then they spread their wings over them one above another up to the lowest heaven. Then their Lord asks them, although He has far richer awareness, ‘What are My servants saying?’ The angels say, ‘O Lord, they are glorifying and praising You.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘Have they seen Me?’ They reply, ‘No.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What would have been their condition if they had seen Me?’ They say, ‘If they had seen You, they would have glorified You, magnified You, proclaimed Your greatness and praised You even more intensely.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What are they asking for?’ They reply, ‘O Lord, they are asking You for Paradise.’ He says to them, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ He says, ‘What would have been their state if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If they had seen it, they would have asked for it more intensely and desired it more earnestly.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What are they seeking refuge from?’ The angels say, ‘They are seeking Your protection from the Fire.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What would have been their condition if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If they had seen it, they would have sought Your protection from it even more intensely.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘I call you to witness that I have indeed forgiven them.’”
2. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّاحِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فُضُلًا عَنْ كُتَّابِ النَّاسِ، فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا أَقْوَامًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ تَنَادَوْا هَلُمُّوا إِلَى بُغْيَتِكُمْ. فَيَجِيئُونَ فَيَحُفُّونَ بِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ: عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي يَصْنَعُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: تَرَكْنَاهُمْ يَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَكَ وَيَذْكُرُونَكَ. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَهَلْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْنِي؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْكَ لَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ تَحْمِيدًا وَأَشَدَّ تَمْجِيدًا وَأَشَدَّ لَكَ ذِكْرًا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَطْلُبُونَ؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: يَطْلُبُونَ الْجَنَّةَ. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْهَا لَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ لَهَا طَلَبًا وَأَشَدَّ عَلَيْهَا حِرْصًا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ؟ قَالُوا: يَتَعَوَّذُونَ مِنْ النَّارِ. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْهَا لَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهَا هَرَبًا وَأَشَدَّ مِنْهَا خَوْفًا وَأَشَدَّ مِنْهَا تَعَوُّذًا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ. فَيَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ فِيهِمْ فُلَانًا الْخَطَّاءَ لَمْ يُرِدْهُمْ، إِنَّمَا جَاءَهُمْ لِحَاجَةٍ. فَيَقُولُ: هُمْ الْقَوْمُ لَا يَشْقَى لَهُمْ جَلِيسٌ.
Abu Huraira or Abu Saeed Khudri (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “There are many angels of Allah (SWT), other than the ones who record deeds, who wander around on earth. When they find some people performing remembrance of Allah (SWT), they call other angels, saying, ‘Come to what you are looking for.’ So they come and cover those people up to the lowest heaven. Then Allah (SWT) says, ‘What were My servants doing when you left them?’ The angels say, ‘O Lord, we left them praising You, magnifying You and remembering You.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘Have they seen Me?’ They reply, ‘No.’” The Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Allah (SWT) says, ‘What would have been their condition if they had seen Me?’ They say, ‘If they had seen You, they would have praised You, magnified You and remembered You far more.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What are they asking for?’ They reply, ‘They are asking You for Paradise.’ He says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ He says, ‘What would have been their state if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If they had seen it, they would have asked for it more intensely and desired it more earnestly.’ Allah says, ‘What are they seeking My protection from?’ The angels say, ‘They are seeking Your protection from the Fire.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What would have been their condition if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If they had seen it, they would have fled from it, feared it and sought Your refuge from it even more intensely.’ Allah says, ‘Then bear witness that I have forgiven them.’ They say, ‘There is so and so a great sinner among them; he came only for his personal interest and not to join in remembrance.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘These are such people that even their companion is not left destitute and unfortunate.’”

3. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: يَتَعَاقَبُونَ فِيكُمْ مَلَائِكَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ، وَمَلَائِكَةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا فِيكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُم وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ: كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: تَرَكْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Angels come among you in turns by night and by day, and they all assemble at the fajr (morning) and asr (afternoon) ritual prayers. Then the ones who visited you ascend and their Lord asks them, although He knows better about them, ‘In what state did you leave My servants?’ The angels reply: ‘They were offering ritual prayer when we left them while they were also praying when we approached them.’”
4. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً يَطُوفُونَ فِي الطُّرُقِ، يَلْتَمِسُونَ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ، فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا قَوْمًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ تَنَادَوْا، هَلُمُّوا إِلَى حَاجَتِكُمْ. قَالَ: فَيَحُفُّونَهُمْ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا. قَالَ. فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ – وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُمْ: مَا يَقُولُ عِبَادِي؟ قَالَ: تَقُولُ: يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَكَ. قَالَ فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ رَأَوْنِي؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَوْكَ. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: وَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْنِي؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْكَ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ لَكَ عِبَادَةً، وَأَشَدَّ لَكَ تَمْجِيدًا، وَأَكْثَرَ لَكَ تَسْبِيحًا. قَالَ: يَقُولُ: فَمَا يَسْأَلُونَنِي؟ قَالَ: يَسْأَلُونَكَ الْجَنَّةَ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَبِّ! مَا رَأَوْهَا. قَالَ: يَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهَا حِرْصًا، وَأَشَدَّ لَهَا طَلَبًا، وَأَعْظَمَ فِيهَا رَغْبَةً. قَالَ: فَمِمَّ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: مِنْ النَّارِ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَبِّ! مَا رَأَوْهَا. قَالَ: يَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهَا فِرَارًا، وَأَشَدَّ لَهَا مَخَافَةً. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَأُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ مَلَكٌ مِنْ الْمَلَائِكَةِ: فِيهِمْ فُلَانٌ، لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ، إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِحَاجَةٍ. قَالَ: هُمْ الْجُلَسَاءُ لَا يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيسُهُمْ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Allah has angels who wander around on roads in search of people who remember Allah. When they find such people they call other angels, ‘Come to your coveted company.’ Then they spread their wings over them up to the lowest heaven. Their Lord asks them, although He knows better about them, ‘What are My servants saying?’ They reply, ‘They are glorifying You, proclaiming Your Greatness, praising You and pronouncing Your Grandeur.’ The Holy Messenger said, “Then Allah asks: ‘Have they seen Me?’ They reply, ‘No, by Allah, they have not seen You.’ The Messenger of Allah said, “Allah asks: ‘How would have they acted, if they had seen Me?’ They reply, ‘Had they seen You, they would have worshipped You, magnified You and glorified You more earnestly.’ Then Allah asks, ‘What are they asking Me for?’ The angels say, ‘They are asking You for Paradise.’ The Messenger of Allah said, “Allah asks: ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No, we swear by Allah, our Lord, they have not seen it.’ He asks, ‘How would have they acted, if they had seen it?’ The angels reply, ‘If they had seen it, they would have been more intensely eager for it, would have asked more earnestly for it and would have had a greater desire for it.’ He asks, ‘What are they seeking refuge from?’ They reply, ‘From the Hell.’ He asks, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No, by our Lord, they have not seen this as well.’ He asks, ‘What would have been their state, had they seen it?’ They reply, ‘Had they seen it, they would have fled from it with greater speed and greater fear.’ He says, ‘Bear witness that I have forgiven them.’ Some of the angels submit, ‘Among them is so and so who has come for his own purpose (and not to join in remembrance session).’ Allah says, ‘He has been in their company and those who join their company do not remain deprived.’”
5. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم، قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضُلًا يَتَتَبَّعُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ، فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا مَجْلِسًا فِيهِ ذِكْرٌ، قَعَدُوا مَعَهُمْ وَحَفَّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ، حَتَّى يَمْلَئُوا مَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَإِذَا تَفَرَّقُوا عَرَجُوا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. قَالَ: فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ اللَّهُ عزوجل – وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ: مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: جِئْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ عِبَادٍ لَكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيُهَلِّلُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ. قَالَ: وَمَاذَا يَسْأَلُونِي؟ قَالُوا: يَسْأَلُونَكَ جَنَّتَكَ. قَالَ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْا جَنَّتِي؟ قَالُوا: لَا أَيْ رَبِّ. قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْا جَنَّتِي؟ قَالُوا: وَيَسْتَجِيرُونَكَ. قَالَ: وَمِمَّ يَسْتَجِيرُونَنِي؟ قَالُوا: مِنْ نَارِكَ يَا رَبِّ. قَالَ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْا نَارِي؟ قَالُوا: لَا. قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْا نَارِي؟ قَالُوا: وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَكَ. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ مَا سَأَلُوا، وَأَجَرْتُهُمْ مِمَّا اسْتَجَارُوا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبِّ فِيهِمْ فُلَانٌ عَبْدٌ خَطَّاءٌ، إِنَّمَا مَرَّ فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: وَلَهُ غَفَرْتُ، هُمْ الْقَوْمُ لَا يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيسُهُمْ.
According to Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “There are angels of Allah (SWT) who roam around looking for remembrance assemblies of Allah. When they find such sittings they sit in with them and cover them with their wings until the space between the earth and the lowest heaven gets densely filled. When people leave the assembly the angels ascend to heavens. Their Lord asks them, although He knows better than them, ‘Where have you come from?’ The angels say, ‘We have come from Your servants on earth who were glorifying You, proclaiming Your greatness, declaring Your unity, praising You and imploring from You.’ Allah (SWT) asks, ‘What were they supplicating for?’ They reply, ‘They were praying to You for Your Paradise.’ He asks, ‘Have they seen My Paradise?’ They reply, ‘No, our Lord.’ He asks, ‘What would have been their state if they had seen My Paradise?’ The angels say, ‘They were seeking Your protection.’ He asks, ‘What were they seeking My protection from?’ They reply, ‘From Your Hell, O Lord.’ Allah (SWT) asks, ‘Have they seen My Hell?’ They reply, ‘No.’ Allah asks, ‘What would have been their state if they had seen it?’ The angels say, ‘They were also asking for Your forgiveness.’” The Holy Messenger said that Allah (SWT) says, “I have forgiven them and given them whatever they have supplicated for, and protected them from whatever they have sought protection.” The Holy Messenger said that they say, “There is Such-and-such great sinner among them; he was just passing by and happened to sit with them without any intention.” The Holy Messenger said that Allah (SWT) says, “I have forgiven him, too (because) they are the people that the one who even sits with them is not left deprived.”
6. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً وَفُضُلَاءَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ فِي الْأَرْضِ. فَإِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى مَجْلِسِ ذِكْرٍ حَفَّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. فَيَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ – وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنَا جِئْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ عِبَادِكَ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُهَلِّلُونَكَ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ وَيَسْتَجِيْرُونَكَ. فَيَقُولُ: مَا يَسْأَلُونَنِي – وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنَا يَسْأَلُونَكَ الْجَنَّةَ. فَيَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا، يَا رَبِّ. فَيَقُولُ: كَيْفَ لَو رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُ: وَمِمَّ يَسْتَجِيْرُونَنِي – وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنَ النَّارِ. فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَو رَأَوْهَا؟ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: اشْهَدُوا أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ مَا سَأَلُونِي وَأَجَرْتُهُمْ مِمَّا اسْتَجَارُونِي. فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنَا إِنَّ فِيْهِمْ عَبْدًا خَطَّاءً جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ. فَيَقُولُ: وَهُوَ أَيْضًا قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ. هُمُ الْقَومُ لَا يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيْسُهُمْ.
Abu Huraira narrates (رضی اللہ عنہ) that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “There are angels of Allah (SWT), besides those given assignments. They keep wandering around (with a specific aim) and search for assemblies engaged in remembrance of Allah on earth. When they find and join in such a gathering they cover one another with their wings up to the lowest heaven. Then Allah (SWT) asks them, although He knows better, ‘Where have you come from?’ The angels say, ‘O our Lord, we have come from Your servants who were glorifying You, proclaiming Your Greatness, praising You, declaring Your unity, praying to You and seeking Your protection.’ Allah (SWT) says, although He knows better, ‘What are they asking Me for?’ They reply, ‘O our Lord, they are asking You for Paradise.’ He says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No, O Lord.’ He says, ‘What would have been their state if they had seen it?’ Then He asks, although He knows better, ‘What are they seeking My protection from?’ The angels reply, ‘From the Fire (of Hell).’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘What would have been their condition if they had seen it?’ Then Allah (SWT) says, ‘Bear witness that I have indeed forgiven them, and given them whatever they have asked Me for and protected them from whatever they have sought My protection.’ They say, ‘O our Lord, among them was a great sinner. He was not one of them; he just passed by and sat down with them unintentionally.’ Allah (SWT) says, ‘I have forgiven him as well. They are such (blessed) people that the one who sits in their company is also not left deprived and unfortunate.’”
7. عَنْ أََبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضُلاً يَلْتَمِسُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ. فَإِذَا أَتَوا عَلَى قَومٍ يَذكُرُونَ اللهَ عزوجل جَلَسُوا فَأَظَلُّوهُمْ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ مَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا. فَإِذَا قَامُوا عَرَجُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ. فَيَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: جِئْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ عِبَادٍ لَكَ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُهَلِّلُونَكَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيَسْتَجِيْرُونَكَ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ جَنَّتَكَ. فَيَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: وَهَلْ رَأَوا جَنَّتِي وَنَارِي؟ فَيَقُولُونُ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَو رَأَوْهُمَا؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: أُشْهِدُكُمْ فَقَدَ أَجَرْتُهُمْ مِمَّا اسْتَجَارُوا وَأَعْطَيْتُهُم مَا سَأَلُوا. فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّ فِيْهِم رَجُلًا مَرَّ بِهِمْ فَقَعَدَ مَعَهُمْ. فَيَقُولُ: وَلَهُ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ. إِنَّهُمْ قَومٌ لَا يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيْسُهُمْ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “There are angels of Allah (SWT), besides those given various assignments. They keep wandering around (with a specific aim) and search for gatherings engaged in remembrance of Allah. When they find and join in such a gathering they spread their wings over them up to the lowest heaven. When people retire from this sitting, the angels ascend to their Lord. Allah asks them although He knows better, ‘Where have you come from?’ They reply, ‘We have come from Your servants who were glorifying You, magnifying You, praising You, declaring Your unity, proclaiming Your greatness and seeking Your protection from Your chastisement and asking You for Your Paradise.’ He says, ‘Have they seen My Paradise and My Fire?’ They reply, ‘No.’ He asks, ‘What would have been their condition, if they had seen them?’ Then He says, ‘I call you to witness that I have protected them against what they sought protection and granted them what they begged for.’ Then the angels submit, ‘Among them was a man who just passed by them and joined their company.’ Allah says, ‘I have forgiven him as well. They are such (blessed) people that whoever joins their company is also not left deprived and unfortunate.’”

Chapter 7: Remembrance of Allah is better than fighting in His way

8. عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم سُئِلَ: أَيُّ الْعِبَادِ أَفْضَلُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ: الذَّاكِرُونَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتُ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَمِنَ الْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: لَوْ ضَرَبَ بِسَيْفِهِ فِي الْكُفَّارِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يَنْكَسِرَ وَيَخْتَضِبَ دَمًا لَكَانَ الذَّاكِرُونَ اللَّهَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ دَرَجَةً.
Abu Saeed Khudri (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) was asked, “Who will be superior in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “The men and the women who remember Allah (SWT) greatly.” The narrator states: I submitted, “O Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , are they superior even to those who fight in the way of Allah (SWT)?” He said, “Even if he wields his sword among infidels and polytheists until it breaks blood stained, the rememberers of Allah are superior to him in grade.”
9. عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: مَا عَمِلَ ابْنُ آدَمَ عَمَلاً أَنْجَى لَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ. قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيْلِ اللهِ. تَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِكَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ ثُمَّ تَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِكَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ ثُمَّ تَضْرِبُ بِهِ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ.
Muādh (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “No action of man is more protecting against the Fire (of Hell) than remembrance of Allah.” He (the narrator) submitted, “O Messenger of Allah, not even fighting in the way of Allah?” He said, “No, not even jihad even if you fight so much that your sword breaks, and then you fight again and that sword also breaks, and then you fight on until another sword breaks.”1
10. عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: مَا عَمِِلَ آدَمِيٌّ عَمَلاً أَنْجَى لَهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ. قَالُوا: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَان، وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيْلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: وَلاَ إِلَى أَنْ يِضْرِبَ بِسَيْفِهِ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ: (وَلَذِکرُ اللهِ أَکبَرُ).
Narrated from Muādh bin Jabal (رضی اللہ عنہ) , he said, “No other action of man is more effective to deliver him from Allah’s torment than remembrance of Allah (SWT).” People asked, “O Abu Abd-ur-Rahman, not even fighting in the way of Allah?” He replied, “No, even if he strikes his sowrd so much that it breaks because Allah (SWT) enjoins in His Book: ‘Indeed remembrance of Allah is the greatest.’”
11. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْن عَمْرٍو رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: ذِكْرُ اللهِ الْغَدَاةَ وَالْعَشِيَّ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ حِطَمِ السُّيُوفِ فِي سَبِيْلِ اللهِ وَإِعْطَاءِ الْمَالِ سَحًّا.
Narrated from Abdullah bin Amr, he said, “Remembrance of Allah (SWT) morning and evening is superior to breaking swords in fighting for Allah (SWT) and spending generously in His way.”
12. عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: لَذِكْرُ اللهِِ عزوجل بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ خَيْرٌ مِنْ حِطَمِ السُّيُوفِ فِي سَبِيْلِ اللهِ عزوجل.
Narrated from Anas bin Mālik (رضی اللہ عنہ) , he said, “Indeed, remembrance of Allah (SWT) morning and evening is better than breaking swords in the path of Allah (SWT).”

Chapter 8: The rememberers of Allah (SWT) are superior to fighters in His way

13. عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم سُئِلَ: أَيُّ الْعِبَادِ أَفْضَلُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ: الذَّاكِرُونَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتُ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَمَنِ الْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: لَوْ ضَرَبَ بِسَيْفِهِ فِي الْكُفَّارِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يَنْكَسِرَ وَيَخْتَضِبَ دَمًا لَكَانَ الذَّاكِرُونَ اللَّهَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ دَرَجَةً.
Abu Saeed Khudri (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) was asked, “Who will be superior in rank in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “The men and the women who remember Allah (SWT) greatly.” The narrator states: I submitted, “O Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , are they superior even to those who fight in the way of Allah (SWT)?” He said, “Even if he wields his sword among infidels and polytheists until it breaks, blood stained, the rememberers of Allah are superior to him in grade.”
14. قَالَ مُعَاذٍ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رضی الله عنه: لَو أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ يَحْمِلُ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى الْجِيَادِِ فِي سَبِيْلِ اللهِ وَالآخَرُ يَذْكُرُ الله، لَكَانَ أَفْضَلَ أَوْ أَعْظَمَ أَجْرَا الذَّاكِرُ.
Muādh ibn Jabal (رضی اللہ عنہ) said, “If there are two people one of whom rides on a horse in order to fight for Allah while the other gets engaged in remembering Allah (SWT), the one who remembers Allah (SWT) is granted superior and greater bounty and reward.”
15. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رضی الله عنه: لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً بَاتَ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْجِيَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَبَاتَ رَجُلٌ يَتْلُو كِتَابَ اللهِ، لَكَانَ ذَاكِرُ اللهِ أَفْضَلَهُمَا.
Abdullah (رضی اللہ عنہ) said, “If someone spends a night on horseback fighting in the way of Allah and some other spends it in reciting the Holy Qur’an and remembering Allah, indeed the one who remembers Allah is superior to the other.”

Chapter 9: Remembrance of Allah (SWT) is superior to giving gold and silver in charity

16. عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ، وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ، وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْفَاقِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ، وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى. فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ رضی الله عنه: مَا شَيْءٌ أَنْجَى مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ.
Abu Darda (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Shall I not inform you the best and the purest of your deed in the sight of your Master, which is the highest in your degrees, is superior to your spending gold and silver in charity, and is better than confronting and fighting against your enemy, cutting one another’s necks?” The Companions submitted, “Yes, indeed!” He said, “It is remembering Allah.” Muādh ibn Jabal (رضی اللہ عنہ) said, “There is nothing more effective to deliver you from the torment of Allah (SWT) than remembrance of Allah (SWT).”
17. عَنْ مُعَاذِ بن أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: الذِّكْرُ يَفْضُلُ عَلَى النَّفَقَةِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مِائَةَ ضِعْفٍ.
