And their soldiers are Jibril with Mikail with *** the rest of the angels, supporters of the Qur'an (The reality of the soldiers of the people of the Sunnah and the Qur'an, and an explanation of the story of Sulayman in the throne of Saba and the meaning of His saying: {So when he saw it settled with him})

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And their soldiers" Soldiers of whom? Soldiers of the people of truth.
"Jibril with Mikail with *** the rest of the angels, supporters of the Qur'an"
Can the soldiers of the Shayatins resist the soldiers of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His angels? Never. Whoever has the angels with him is stronger than whoever has the Shayatins with him; there is no doubt in this. Here is a real example of what Sulayman said:
which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?" أيكم يأتيني بعرشها قبل أن يأتوني مسلمين
[An-Naml 27:38]
The throne of Bilqis was in Yemen and Sulayman was in the Levant.
A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy." قال عفريت من الجن أنا آتيك به قبل أن تقوم من مقامك وإني عليه لقوي أمين
[An-Naml 27:39]
This is a jinn who wanted to bring the throne from Yemen to the Levant before he rose from his place.
And Sulayman had a habit of rising from his place at a specific, known time.
Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." قال الذي عنده علم من الكتاب أنا آتيك به قبل أن يرتد إليك طرفك
[An-Naml 27:40]
Cast your gaze this way and return it, and if it is with you.
And for this reason he said:
And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord فلما رآه مستقرا عنده قال هذا من فضل ربي
[An-Naml 27:40]
Settled with him. The grammarians ask: How does he say "settled" when the custom and the rule is that the object of the preposition and the genitive is not mentioned?
Does he not say "meaning existent or settled"? They do not mention "existent" or "settled." So here he said:
when [Solomon] saw it placed لما رآه مستقرا
[An-Naml 27:40]
They answered this by saying that this settling is not absolute settling, but rather he intended a specific settling. If you say "Zayd is in the house," he is settled in the house, but he might be in a state of restlessness, and it is correct to say "Zayd is in the house." But if you say "Zayd is settled in the house," this is a new, specific meaning.
And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him فلما رآه مستقرا عنده
[An-Naml 27:40]
If he had said "So when he saw it with him," it might be with him but not settled. This one brought it and placed it as if he had placed it twenty days ago, settled, meaning perfectly stable. If you bring a chair now and place it, it might need adjustment; some of the legs... some need... you do work on it. But he found it settled. So this settling was mentioned because it is what? A specific settling, not a general settling in any case. It is now clear that the angels are stronger than the jinn, because the jinn promised to bring it before he rose from his place, but this was before his gaze returned to him, and it actually happened.
So can the armies of the Shayatins resist those whose soldiers are Jibril, Mikail, and the rest of the angels? Never. But the people of truth are abandoned due to their shortcoming, either in reliance and dependence on Allah, or in the neglect of some of the causes. For this reason, they may be overcome.
