Muslim 1560 — Pass over My servant: the one who was lenient with debtors· Angels alternate among you by night and by day· The angels boast of you· The angels say: My Lord, that is Your servant who intends an evil deed — You know him best· Roaming angels seek out gatherings of remembrance· Were it not for your sins the angels would visit you in your houses· The shayatin came to them and turned them from their religion· Abu Dawud 430 — I made five prayers obligatory on your community and made a covenant
