Abu ad-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The sun does not rise except with two angels at its sides calling out, heard by all creatures except humans and jinn 1: ‘O people, come to your Lord! What is little and sufficient is better than what is abundant and distracting.’”

Note 1
(1) His statement: “Heard by all creatures except humans and jinn”: If you ask, if humans do not hear the angels’ call, what is its benefit, and how are they alerted by it? I say: Its benefit is that the truthful and confirmed Prophet (ﷺ) informs of it, either from what he heard himself or what the Absolute Truth informed him of. The Prophet’s conveying this to the community suffices. (Summarized from Al-Mirqat and Al-Lama’at.)

(۱) قوله: يسمعان الخلائق غير الثقلين: فإن قلت: فإذا لم يسمع الإنسان نداء ملكين فما الفائدة فيه؟ وكيف يتنبهون بذلك؟ قلت: فائدته أن يخبر الصادق المصدوق بقوله ناقلا عما سمع بنفسه، أو بما أخبر به الحق المطلق، يعني يكفي في ذلك إخبار النبي الأمة به. التقطته من «المرقاة» و«اللمعات».
