Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ مُوسَى بْن
ِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً يَتَعَاقَبُونَ مَلَائِكَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةَ النَّهَارِ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِيكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي فَيَقُولُونَ تَرَكْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Yazid [ibn Harun], from Muhammad [ibn Ishaq], from Musa ibn Yasar — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed Allah has angels who alternate — angels of the night and angels of the day — and they meet in the Fajr prayer and the 'Asr prayer. Then those who were among you ascend to Him, and He asks them — though He knows best — saying: "In what state did you leave My servants?" They say: "We left them praying, and we came to them [also] praying."'
