Angels alternate among you by night and by day

God said in the hadith qudsi: angels alternate among you by night and angels by day, and they gather at the Fajr and Asr prayers; then those who spent the night among you ascend and He asks them — though He knows best — how they left My servants, and they say: we left them praying Nasai 485.
