Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَجْتَمِعُ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةُ النَّهَارِ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَإِذَا عَرَجَتْ مَلَائِكَةُ النَّهَارِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ جِئْنَاكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ عِبَادِكَ أَتَيْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَجِئْنَاكَ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ فَإِذَا عَرَجَتْ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ قَالُوا جِئْنَاكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ عِبَادِكَ أَتَيْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَجِئْنَاكَ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The angels of the night and the angels of the day meet at the time of the Fajr prayer and the Asr prayer. When the angels of the day ascend, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, asks them: 'From where have you come?' They say: 'We came from Your servants; we came to them while they were praying and we left them while they were praying.' When the angels of the night ascend, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, asks them: 'From where have you come?' They say: 'We came from Your servants; we came to them while they were praying and we left them while they were praying.'"
