“Allah
has Angels who roam the roads, seeking out those who remember Him. So,
if they find those who remember Allah, they call out: ‘Come see what
you’re looking for!’ and the Angels encircle them with their wings up to
the sky.
The Angels reply: ‘They say: subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and al-hamdu lil-Lah.’
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 praise You more, and declare Your freedom from any
resemblance to anything more often.’
Allah will Say: ‘What do they ask Me for?’
The Angels reply: ‘They ask You for Paradise.’
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 have greater desire for it, and would seek it with greater zeal.’
Allah says: ‘From what do they seek refuge?’
The Angels reply: ‘They seek refuge from the 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 swiftly, and would have extreme fear of it.’
Then, Allah says: ‘I make you witnesses that I have Forgiven them.’
One of the Angels would then say: ‘There was such and such a person
amongst them, and he was not one of them. Rather, he had just come for
some need of his.’
Allah would then say: ‘These are people whose companions will not be saddened.’”
