Asalam alaikum,
This hadith was posted by one of the brothers. When I mentioned it to a sister, she wondered about it's authencity. If you can, could you please provide it's source.
The Angels Of The Seven Heavens
Hazrat Mu'az (Radi Allahu anhu)said I heard the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) say:
Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) created seven Angels before He created seven heavens and the earth and placed one angel as guard of each heaven.
The angel who presents persons 'actions' from morning to evening goes up to the first heaven.
When he reaches the first heaven with a mans actions, the guard of this heaven says to him ;
"I am the examiner of backbiting. My Lord orderd me not to lift the actions of a man who back-bites."
Then the angel leaves behind theose bad actions and takes the rest of his good to the seconed heaven.
The guard of the seconed heaven says to him;
" My Lord has prohibited me from allowing those actions, which have been done for worldly purpose."
Then the angel leaves those actions and takes the rest upwards to the third heaven.
The guard of the third heaven says;
"I am the angel of pride. My Lord has ordered me not to allow such actions as were done with pride upwards, since this person boasted of some divine services in the assembly of men."
Then he leaves the actions and takes the rest towards the fourth heaven.
He then reaches the fourth heaven. The guard of the fourth heaven says to him;
" I am the angel of self-praise. My Lord prohibited me to allow such actions to go upwards as were done with self-praise."
Then the angel leaves those actions behind and carries on to wards the fifth heaven. The guard of the fifth heaven says to the angel:
" I am the angel of hatred I have been ordered not to allow those actions of men going upwards as were done with hatred."
Then he leaves those actions behind and carries on to wards the sixth heaven. The guard of this heaven says
to him;
" My lord ordered me not to allow such actions of a man going upwards who did not show kindness to My servants when they feel in danger and are in calamities. I am an angel of kindness."
Then the angel leaves those actions behind and carries on to the seventh heaven.
The guard of the seventh heaven says to the angel;
" My Lord ordered me not to allow going upwards such actions as were done not to please Him or for His sake, but for name, fame or for show."
Then the angel leaves those behind and takes the rest to wards the Seventh heaven and to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) who says;
"You are presenting the actions of My servants. I am the Guard of the mans heart. I know that some of these actions were not done to please Me. So My curse is upon him."
The angels also curse him and the seventh heaven also curses him.
Then the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) told Hazrat Mu'az (Radi Allahu anhu)
"Don’t allow others to hear your sins. Bear them yourself. Don’t think yourself pure by backbiting others. Don’t place yourself above them. Don’t allow your worldly actions to enter your next world don’t boast in any assembly of yours don’t talk secretly with another with whom there are other men. Don’t take pride before the people. Don’t boast before the people. Don’t cut jokes with the people lest the dwellers of Hell cut jokes with you on the Resurrection Day."
