Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: It is as if I am looking at the dust rising in the alleyway of Banu Ghanm from the marching of Jibrīl's parade when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) set out to Banu Qurayzhah.
Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 4118) and Ahmad (No. 12752). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 5880).
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) informs in this Hadīth that he saw the dust rising in the alleyway of Banu Ghanm, which was a local area of Al-Khazraj, due to the marching of the angel soldiers led by Jibrīl (peace be upon all of them), as they proceeded along with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) to fight against Banu Qurayzhah.
The fact that Anas saw the traces of the angels does not necessarily mean that he saw the angels themselves. He might have seen them and might not. He, undoubtedly, knew this piece of information – that this was a regiment led by Jibrīl – from the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).
Explanation in Arabic
يخبر أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه أنه رأى الغبار مرتفعًا في سكة بني غنم، وهم حي من الخزرج، من أثر جند الملائكة، ورئيسهم جبريل -عليه السلام-، حين ساروا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لقتال بني قُرَيْظَة.
ورؤية الأثر لا يستلزم رؤية الملائكة، فقد يكون رآهم وقد لا يكون، ولا شك أنه إنما علم كونه موكب جبريل من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم .
أن جبريل سعى في موكبٍ بنفسه مع رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إلى بني قريظة.
في هذا الحديث ما يدل على رؤية أصحاب النبي -صلى الله عليه سلم- آثار الملائكة.
