8- حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْوَرَّاقِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ الْعَطَّارِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَ يَنَامُونَ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي فَقَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهارَ لا يَفْتُرُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَا أُطْرِفُكَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ حَيٍّ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَنَامُ مَا خَلَا اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَنَامُونَ فَقُلْتُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهارَ لا يَفْتُرُونَ فَقَالَ أَنْفَاسُهُمْ تَسْبِيحٌ.
Narrated to us my father: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad Isa from Abbas bin Musa Warraq from Yunus bin Abdur Rahman from Dawood bin Farqad Attar that he said: Some of our associates said to me:
“Do the angels sleep?” I said, “I don’t know.” So he said, “Allah, the Mighty and Sublime has said:
They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid.16
Then he said, “Shall I mention you something from the sayings of Imam Ja’far Sadiq 
by way of gift?” “Why not?” said I. So he said, “The Imam said: All those who are alive are asleep except for Allah, the Mighty and Sublime and the angels.”
I said, “The Almighty Allah has said:
They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid.17
He said, “Their breathing is divine glorification.”
