On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased
with him)
from the Prophet (peace 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,
fillin 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 p.b.u.h.) 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 p.b.u.h) 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 p.b.u.h) 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
p.b.u.h) said:
And He says: And to him [too] I have given
forgiveness: he who sits
with such people shall not suffer.

at-Tirmidhi, and an-
Nasa'i).

Hadith Qudsi 15:
On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased
with him),
who said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Allah the
Almighty said:
I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when
he makes
mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I
make mention
of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an
assembly, I
make mention of him in an assemble better than it. And
if he draws
near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a
fathom's length.
And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.
(1) Another possible rendering of the Arabic is: "I am
as My servant
expects Me to be". The meaning is that forgiveness and
acceptance of
repentance by the Almighty is subject to His servant
truly believing
that He is forgiving and merciful. However, not to
accompany such
belief with right action would be to mock the
Almighty.
It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim,
at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-
Majah).

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
