Is there an authentic narration that mentions an angel named Rata'il, who extracts sorrow from the hearts of believers, and is it permissible to cite it?
None of the scholars of authenticated or weakened the reported narration. Al-Haythami said about it: "It was narrated by Al-Tabarani, and 'Urwah was declared trustworthy by more than one. Sa'id ibn Miqlas, I do not know him, and the rest of its narrators are narrators of Al-." Sheikh Hamdi Abd al-Majid al-Salafi clarified that Sa'id ibn Miqlas is Sa'id ibn Abi Ayyub, and he is considered trustworthy by many scholars. However, 'Urwah ibn Ruwaym used to send narrations frequently, and it was not mentioned that he heard from Al-'Irbad ibn Sariyah. The names of angels and their actions are matters of the unseen that require authentic evidence to be proven.
