حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ ، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ نُبَيْهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، أَنَّ كَعْبًا دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ، فَذَكَرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ :" مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يَطْلُعُ إِلَّا نَزَلَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا مِنْ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، حَتَّى يَحُفُّوا بِقَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضْرِبُونَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ، وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْسَوْا، عَرَجُوا وَهَبَطَ مِثْلُهُمْ، فَصَنَعُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْشَقَّتْ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ، خَرَجَ فِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنْ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يَزِفُّونَهُ "

Abdullah bin Saleh told us, Al-Layth told me, Khalid, he is the son of Yazid, told me, on the authority of Saeed, he is the son of Abi Hilal, on the authority of his Prophet Ibn Wahb, that Ka’b entered upon Aisha, and they mentioned the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and Ka’b said: “There is not a day when he rises without descending.” Seventy thousand angels, until they surround the grave of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, beating their wings and sending blessings upon the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. And peace be upon him, until, when evening came, they came up and someone like them descended, and they did the same until, when the earth opened for him, he came out in seventy. A thousand angels accompanying him.”
