The Companions' Vision of the Angels on the Day of Badr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, a questioner says: On the day of Badr al-Kubra, did the Companions see the angels fighting alongside them?

Answer:
No, they do not see the angels. People do not see the angels because they are unable to see them. So they fight the angels; it is they who fight the people. The Muslims are the ones who fight, and the angels only assist them and make them firm.
[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelievedإِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ
[Al-Anfal 8:12]
