Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is Allah’s support of His awliya (close friends of Allah) with angels among the karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) that can occur for other than the prophets? And are there proofs for this?
Answer:
These are not among the karamah that are healed and found. As for Allah’s support of the believers with angels, yes, angels descend to support the believers and to support the messengers as well. But there is a difference between their support for the messengers and their support for the people of faith who are the followers of the messengers. They did not support the followers of the messengers except because they followed the messengers. Therefore, they said that the karamah of the awliya are mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle) for the prophets, because the awliya did not attain these karamah except by following the prophets. Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: For this reason, He the Exalted and Majestic is He said:[Fussilat 41:30] So the angels accompany the believer, support him, and back him by the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.

Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah " and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا
