ANGELS, AND THE WINNERS OF PARADISE

1880

“Gabriel came to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and asked, ‘What is your estimation of those among you who fought at Badr?’ He answered, ‘They are the best of Muslims’, or words to that effect. Gabriel said, ‘The angels who were present at Badr have the same status.’"

Bukhari with a chain up to Rifa'a the son of Rafi' Zarqi who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
