Angles Pray to ALLAH.

[Sachaa Muslim]

Angles Pray to ALLAH

 

 

 

Rasulullah Sallallaho alaihe wasallam said, "Two angels come down (from the heavens) every morning; one prays, ‘O Allah, grant a return to him who spends’, while the other prays, ‘O Allah, destroy the wealth of him who withholds it". {Mishkat}

 

Note: This Hadith is corroborated by the Ayat given at Serial No. 20 above, which says, "And whatever you spend (for good), He replaces it".

 

We have also quoted many more Traditions bearing on this subject, in that context. Abu Darda Radhiallaho anho has quoted Rasulullah Sallallaho alaihe wasallam as saying, "At sunrise, two angels, one on each side of the sun, make a proclamation, which is heard by everybody except Jinns and mankind, calling, ‘O people, turn to your Lord! The little which suffices for you is better than the abundance which make you neglectful towards Allah!’ Similarly, (the Hadith continues) At the time of sunset, two angels pray loudly from both sides of the sun, saying, ‘O Allah, grant an early return to him who spends (for a good cause) and ruin the wealth of him who hoards it". (Ahmad).

 

A Hadith says, "When the sun rises, two angels, one on each side of the sun, pray to Allah, calling, ‘O Allah, grant an early return to him who spends; O Allah, ruin the property of him who withholds it!" Another Hadith says that there are two angels in the heavens above, who have no other function but to keep on praying; one says, ‘O Allah, grant a return to him who spends (for a good cause), the other says, ‘O Allah, destroy the property of him who holds it back." (Kanz)

 

It appears that the mornings and evenings are not the special hours appointed for the angels to make such invocations; they go on making these supplications all the time. The versions quoted earlier mean that they are particularly engaged in such supplications in the mornings and evenings (though they never cease to do so).

 

Known examples and experiences of life confirm the truth of these Ahadith; very often, those who amass wealth fall a prey to calamities that ruin their property; some get involved in litigation, others enter upon a life of wasteful expenses, still others have the thieves chasing them.

 

Hafiz Ibne Hajar Rahmathullah alaihe says, "When the property is hoarded, it brings ruin in its wake: very often the property is ruined; sometimes the owner himself passes away, leaving behind everything, or he is ruined through leading a vicious life. On the contrary, those who spend (for a good cause) are blessed with increase in their property". According to a Hadith, "Whoever gives much as Sadaqah, Allah Himself looks after his property after his death". (Ihya).

 

That is to say, the heirs of such persons do not waste away the property they have left behind and do not indulge in useless pursuits; unlike the sons of the rich feudal lords who squander away the wealth inherited from their parents. Imaam Nawavi Rahmathullah alaihe writes: Only that expenditure is commendable which is incurred for good causes, i.e. spending to provide for one’s family, for entertaining one’s guests or for other devotional deeds." Qurtabi Rahmathullah alaihe says, "Devotional deeds include both obligatory (Fardh) and supererogatory (Nafl) devotions. However, he who does not give away (Nafl) Sadaqaat is not affected by the curses of the angels, unless he is overpowered by an innate miserliness which causes him to pay ‘Fardh Sadaqaat’ with a heavy heart".
