Hadith on Angels: Two come every day and night

Abu Darda reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The sun never rises but that two angels are sent at its sides, calling out. All the earth’s inhabitants hear them, except humans and jinn: O people, come quickly to your Lord! What is little and sufficient is better than what is abundant and negligent! The sun never sets but two angels are sent at its sides, calling out. All the earth’s inhabitants hear them, except humans and jinn: O Allah, repay the one who spends in charity! O Allah, destroy the one who withholds charity!

عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا طَلَعَتْ شَمْسٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا بُعِثَ بِجَنْبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ يُسْمِعَانِ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ فَإِنَّ مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَأَلْهَى وَلَا آبَتْ شَمْسٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا بُعِثَ بِجَنْبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ يُسْمِعَانِ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقًا خَلَفًا وَأَعْطِ مُمْسِكًا مَالًا تَلَفًا
