Question:
Allah sent the angels, and they descended to support the people of Badr. Did the Muslims and the polytheists see them?
Answer:
Yes, Allah also sends the angels to assist the Muslims in battle, as mentioned in the Battle of Badr and other battles.[Al-Anfal 8:12] They descend to strengthen the Muslims, encourage them, assist them, and terrify their enemy.
They descend by the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) during the fighting between Muslims and disbelievers, when the Muslims are fighting in the cause of Allah to assist the Muslims against their enemy, as stated in the Qur'an. Iblis saw them, and for this reason he said, "I see what you do not see," in the Battle of Badr. When he saw the angels, he fled and said, "I see what you do not see, and indeed[Al-Anfal 8:48] Allah is severe in punishment." He saw the angels and fled because he and the angels do not meet. As for the believers, they may see them, but not in their true form. Yes.

when Satan made their deeds pleasing to them and said, "No one can overcome you today from among the people, and indeed, I am your protector." But when the two armies sighted each other, he turned on his heels and said, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah
زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَإِنِّي جَارٌ لَّكُمْ فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَتِ الْفِئَتَانِ نَكَصَ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّنكُمْ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ
