5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي غَيْرُهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْزِلُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ سِتُّونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُصَلُّونَ عِنْدَ السَّابِعَةِ ثُمَّ لاَ يَعُودُ مِنْهُمْ مَلَكٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

- Arabic and English texts preserved verbatim from pinned snapshot. Compiler introduction excluded where present; references mapped to fields; assessment whitespace trimmed; source-supplied English sanad retained separately. Search normalization is not applied to displayed text. Snapshot URL's erroneous volume 1 segment corrected to volume 3 using the reviewed file/book/volume metadata and publisher chapter structure; original URL retained for audit.
- verification Note
- Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
