Angels Visit The Believer Every Night and Every Day
Allah’s messenger (S) said,
"There are angels who take turns in
visiting you by night and by day, and they all assemble at the dawn
(Fajr) and the afternoon (`Asr) prayers. Those who have spent the night
with you, ascend to the heaven and their Rubb, Who knows better about
them, asks: `In what condition did you leave My slaves?' They reply: `We left them while they were performing prayer and we went to them while they were performing prayer.'''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary: The angels for the night come at the time of `Asr when the
angels for the morning are present. This is how the angels of the two
shifts assemble at this time. The angels of the shift of `Asr leave
their duty in the morning, and the angels of the morning shift resume
their duty when the pious persons are engaged in Fajr prayer. This is
how the two groups assemble again at that time. Thus, when the angels
come or go, the people who are punctual in their prayer are engaged in
Fajr and `Asr. Almighty Allah knows everything but even then He asks the
angels about his pious slaves so that the piousness of the believers
and their merit and distinction become evident to them.
