قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي سَارَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مَحَقَ الْإِسْلَامَ مَحْقَ الشُّحِّ شَيْءٌ " .

وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، ثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ قَالَ : إِذَا كَانَ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ اطَّلَعَ مَلَكٌ ، فَقَالَ : سَبِّحُوا الْمَلِكَ الْقُدُّوسَ ، ثُمَّ يَطَّلِعُ مَلَكٌ آخَرُ فَيَقُولُ : سَبِّحُوا الْمَلِكَ الْقُدُّوسَ ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تُحَرِّكُ الطَّيْرُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا ، ثُمَّ يَطَّلِعُ مَلَكٌ آخَرُ فَيَقُولُ : يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ هَلُمَّ ، ثُمَّ يَطَّلِعُ مَلَكٌ آخَرُ يَقُولُ : يَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ ، ثُمَّ يَطَّلِعُ آخَرُ فَيَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِمُنْفِقٍ خَلَفًا ، ثُمَّ يَطَّلِعُ آخَرُ ، فَيَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِمُمْسِكٍ تَلَفًا .
It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Amrah that he said: "When it is the middle of the night, an angel appears and calls out: 'Sabbihu al-Malik al-Quddus' (All of you, glorify and declare the purity of the True King, the Most Holy). Then another angel appears and he too says the same: 'Sabbihu al-Malik al-Quddus' (All of you, glorify the King, the Most Holy). At that time (hearing the glorification of the angels) the birds move their wings. Then another angel appears and calls out: 'Ya baghiya al-khayri halumm' (O seeker of good! Come forward and turn your attention). Then another angel appears and says: 'Ya baghiya al-sharri aqsir' (O seeker of evil! Restrain (yourself) and desist). Then another angel appears and implores: 'Allahumma aj'al li-munfiqin khalafa' (O Allah, grant the one who spends in Your way the best replacement for it). Then another angel appears and calls out: 'Allahumma aj'al li-mumsikin talafa' (O Allah, decree ruin and destruction for the one who withholds wealth and is miserly)."
