According to Abu Hurayra (ra), one day Allah’s Messenger (saw) was sitting with people. A man came and asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What is imān (faith)?” Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “That you believe in Allah, His angels, His Book, meeting Him, His Messengers and that you believe in Resurrection in the Hereafter.” (After the man who asked this question left,) Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “This was Jibril, who came to teach people their religion.”(Muslim, al-Iman, 5)
According to ʿAʾisha (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “The Angels were born out of light, and the Jinns were born out of the spark of fire, and Adam was born as has been described (in the Holy Qurʾan) for you (i.e., he was created out of clay).”(Muslim, al-Zuhd, 60)
According to a report from Abu Hurayra (ra) or Abu Saʿid al-Khudri (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Indeed, Allah has angels who go about on the earth in addition to the angels who record people’s deeds. So when they find groups of people remembering Allah, they call to one another, ‘Come to that which you have been seeking.’ They will come and surround them up to the lowest heaven. Allah will say, ‘What were My worshippers doing when you left them?’ They will say, ‘We left them as they were praising You, glorifying You, and remembering You.’…”(al-Tirmidhi, al-Daʿawat, 129)
ʿAli (ra) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say, “Whoever comes to his Muslim brother and visits him (when he is sick), he is walking among the fruits of Paradise until he sits down, and when he sits down he is covered with mercy. If it is morning, seventy thousand angels will send blessings upon him until evening, and if it is evening, seventy thousand angels will send blessings upon him until morning.’”(Ibn Maja, al-Janaʾiz, 2)
According to ʿAbd Allah b. Masʿud (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Allah has angels who travel around on earth, conveying to me the salutations of my umma.”(al-Nasaʾi, al-Sahw, 46)
