Leaves out from Home

Upon the authority of Abu Huraira – Radhiyallahu 'Anhu who said:

The Messenger – Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Salaam said:

"There is no one that leaves out (from their home) except that at his hands (and in a variant version 'His door') there are two banners, a banner in the hand of an angel and a banner in the hand of a Shaytan. So if he leaves out pursuing that which pleases Allah, he is followed by the Angel with his banner. He does not cease to remain under his banner until he returns to his home. But if he leaves out pursuing that which displeases Allah then he is followed by the Shaytaan with his banner. He does not cease to remain under his banner until he returns to his home."
