The angels descend upon the mu'mineen

Hadbrat Ibn Abbaas radiyAllaahu unlhuma narrates that Rasulullali sallAllaahu alaybi wa sallam said on the day of Badr: This is Jibraeel holding onto the head of his horse, equipped with the implements of war”

Hadbrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqaas radiyAllaahu unhu narrated:

On the day of Uhud I saw on the right and on the left of Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam two men dressed in white fighting fiercely. I had never seen them before and neither thereafter. They were Jibraeel and Meekaaeel alayhiinassalaam.

Abbaas radiyAllaahu unhu once sent his son Abdullah radiyAllaahu unhu to Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam for some work, but he found Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam busy with a man, so he returned without speaking to him. Abbaas (ra) asked: Did you see the man”

He said: “Yes”.

Abbaas (ra) said: That was Jibraeel alayhissallaam. He who has seen Jibraeel alayhissalaam will not die until he loses his eyesight and be granted vast knowledge.”

It is well known that Abdullah bin Abbaas (ra) became Hibrul Unmmah - a most distinguished Aaalim, even amongst the Sahaabah (ra). During his old age he lost his eyesight. This prediction was thus fulfilled.]

Sahl (ra) said to his son Abu Umaamah (ra):

Oh my son, if only you had seen us on the day of Badr, pointing our swords towards the head of a mushrik, and his head would fall from his body before our swords would reach him.”

Anas (ra) narrates that a man who used to write for Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam became a murtad (apostate, na’uthbillah) and joined the mushrikeen. Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam prophesised: The earth will not accept him.

He narrates: We buried him a number of times, but the earth did not accept him. i.e. the grave expelled his body each time.
