The Angels Who Surround the Human Being
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, and says: As for the angels that surround the human being day and night, are they multiple?
Answer:
There are angels by night and angels by day (may Allah preserve him) who record his good and bad deeds. They take turns; angels descend at the time of the 'Asr prayer and remain with him until Fajr, recording his deeds and what he does, then they ascend. Other angels come and attend the Fajr prayer and remain with him until the 'Asr prayer. Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:19 For this reason, Allah the Exalted said, "And the recitation of Fajr," meaning the prayer of [Al-Isra 17:78], meaning that the angels of the night and the angels of the day attend it. And 'Asr is the best of the prayers, [Al-Baqarah 2:238], where the angels of the night and the angels of the day gather. They attend the prayer with the Muslims. Yes.
