Pearl of Wisdom

'By He who owns my soul, the number of angels in the Heavens is more than the amount of sand on the earth, and there is not even the space of a footstep in Heaven that does not have an angel glorifying and sanctifying Him, nor is there a tree or a ground without having an angel responsible for it.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 59, p. 176, no. 7
