402. A number of our companions, from Sahl in Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Dawood Al-Raqy, who has narrated the following
Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘There are no creatures more numerous than the Angels. They descend from the sky every night, seventy thousand Angels, so they circumambulate the Sacred House during the night, and similarly during each day’.

لَيْسَ خَلْقٌ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنَّهُ لَيَنْزِلُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ فَيَطَّوَّفُونَ بِالْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ لَيْلَتَهُمْ وَ كَذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ.
