No origin has been found for the story that mentions the descent of four angels when a servant's demise approaches, informing him that he has no remaining provision, step, or breath in this world. Rather, something similar was mentioned by Al-Safuri in his book, "Nuzhat al-Majalis," which is known for its fabricated stories.
