وَعَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِرضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " مَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَّا وَبِجَنْبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ يُسْمِعَانِ الْخَلَائِقَ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَأَلْهَى «رَوَاهُمَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ فِي» الْحِلْية "
Abu Darda’ Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Never does the sun rise without two angels being on either side of it, calling out for all creatures except men and jinns, to hear. (they call out:) 'O people! Come to your Lord (and obey His commands, shunning everything). What is littler (but) sufficient (to cover religious obligations and provision for the hereafter) is better than that which is plenty but causes negligence (of worship and deprives of peace and contentment)."
