وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَا مِنْ خَارِجٍ يَخْرُجُ يَعْنِي مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا بِبَابِهِ رَايَتَانِ، رَايَةٌ بِيَدِ مَلَكٍ، وَرَايَةٌ بِيَدِ شَيْطَانٍ، فَإِنْ خَرَجَ لِمَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ اتَّبَعَهُ الْمَلَكُ بِرَايَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ الْمَلَكِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَإِنْ خَرَجَ لِمَا يُسْخِطُ اللَّهَ اتَّبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِرَايَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no one who goes out, who leaves his house, except that there are two flags at his door, one flag in the hand of an angel and one in the hand of Satan. If the person goes out for a deed pleasing to Allah, then the angel takes his flag and walks behind him, and that person remains under the angel’s flag until he returns home. And if he goes out for a deed that angers Allah, then Satan takes his flag and walks behind him, and that person remains under Satan’s flag until he returns home.
