el-Enfâl 8:9

<h2>Muslims invoke Allah for Help, Allah sends the Angels to help Them</h2><p>Al-Bukhari wrote in the book of battles (in his Sahih) under "Chapter; Allah's statement,</p><p>إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ</p><p>((Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you) until,</p><p>فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ</p><p>(then verily, Allah is severe in punishment)" that Ibn Mas`ud said, "I was a witness to something that Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad did, that I would like more than almost anything else to have been the one who did it. Al-Miqdad came to the Prophet while he was invoking Allah against the idolators and proclaimed, `We will not say as the people of Musa said, "So go you and your Lord and fight you two."</p><p>Rather, we will fight to your right, to your left, before you and behind you.' I saw the Prophet's face beaming with pleasure because of what Al-Miqdad said to him." Al-Bukhari next narrated from Ibn `Abbas that on the day of Badr, the Prophet said,</p><p>«اللَّهُمَّ أَنْشُدُكَ عَهْدَكَ وَوَعْدَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَمْ تُعْبَد»</p><p>(O Allah! I invoke You for Your covenant and promise (victory). O Allah! If You decide so (cause our defeat), You will not be worshipped.)</p><p>Abu Bakr held the Prophet's hand and said, …

When ye sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): I will help you with a thousand of the angels, rank on rank.

Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord, and He answered you: "I will assist you with a thousand of the angels, ranks on ranks."

(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): "I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession."

When you appealed to your Lord for help, He answered you, “I am reinforcing you with one thousand angels in succession.”
