Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Messenger of Allah! When we are with you, we see praiseworthy qualities in ourselves, but when we return to our families and live among them, we consider ourselves sinful. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you were to remain in the same state in your privacy as you are with me, then the angels would shake hands with you and would shade you with their wings in such a way that everyone could see. (In reality, circumstances keep changing) sometimes this and sometimes that."
