Such people shall not suffer

[a_stranger]

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

"Allah (glorified and exalted be He) has supernumerary angels who rove about seeking out gatherings in which Allah's name is being invoked: they sit with them and fold their wings round each other, filling in that which is between them and between the lowest heaven. When [the people in the gathering] depart, [the angels] ascend and rise up to heaven." He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Then Allah (mighty and sublime be He) asks them - [though] He is most knowing about them: 'From where have you come?' And they say: 'We have come from some servants of Yours on Earth: they were glorifying You (Subhana llah), exalting you (Allahu akbar), witnessing that there is no god but You (La ilaha illa llah), praising You (Al-Hamdu lillah), and asking [favours] of You.' He says: 'And what do they ask of Me?' They say: 'They ask of You Your Paradise.' He says: 'And have they seen My Paradise?' They say: 'No, O Lord.' He says: 'And how would it be were they to have seen My Paradise!' They say: 'And they ask protection of You.' He says: 'From what do they ask protection of Me?' They say: 'From Your Hell-fire, O Lord.' He says: 'And have they seen My Hell-fire?' They say: 'No.' He says: 'And how would it be were they to have seen My Hell-fire!' They say: 'And they ask for Your forgiveness.'" He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Then He says: 'I have forgiven them and I have bestowed upon them what they have asked for, and I have granted them sanctuary from that from which they asked protection.'" He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "They say: 'O Lord, among then is So-and-so, a much sinning servant, who was merely passing by and sat down with them.'" He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "And He says: 'And to him [too] I have given forgiveness: he who sits with such people shall not suffer.'"

[Aisya al-Humaira]

Ma shaa Allaah. Such a beautiful hadeeth, sister. Jazaaki Allaahu khaayr for sharing. May Allaah reward you and your family with goodness abundantly.

A related hadeeth qudsi with the above hadeeth, Allaah subhaanahu wa Ta`ala said: My Mercy prevails My Wrath.

How Merciful is Our Lord that even a sinner who pass by a group of remembrance of Allaah subhaanahu wa Ta`ala is also granted His Forgiveness. That itself should makes our heart cry and yearns for His Forgiveness.

Would like to share a hadeeth on our testimony of faith, in shaa Allaah.

He who testifies La Ilaha Illa Allah

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Abou Moussa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (Allah's prayer and salvation be upon him) said : « Receive the good news and proclaim the good news to those who are behind you as one who certainly attests to 'La Ilaha Illa Allah', making this word true, enters paradise. »
