Musnad Ahmad 8286 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِر ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَال : " مَا مِنْ خَارِجٍ يَخْرُجُ يَعْنِي مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا بِيَدِهِ رَايَتَان 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 " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whenever a person leaves his house, there are two flags at his door. One flag is in the hand of an angel and the other is in the hand of Satan. If he goes out for an act that pleases Allah, the angel takes his flag and accompanies him, and he remains under the angel’s flag until he returns home. And if he goes out for an act that displeases Allah, Satan takes his flag and accompanies him, and he remains under Satan’s flag until he returns home.
