The Holy Quran 33:9 — Surah Al-Ahzab

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ جَآءَتْكُمْ جُنُودٌ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا وَجُنُودًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Remember Allaah's favour (to you) when (during the Battle of Ahzaab) the (combined Jewish and Mushrikeen) armies approached you (in Madinah), against which We sent (in your defence) a (fierce) wind (that unsettled their camp) and troops (of angels) that you could not see (thus causing fear in the hearts of the enemy). Allaah is Watchful over what you do.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The descent of the angels at [the Battle of] al-Ahzab: that is, the armies of angels who were casting terror into the hearts of the disbelievers. The causes of the Battle of the Trench: in the fourth or fifth year of the Hijrah, the Jews of Banu Nadir, who had been expelled from Madinah (this will be mentioned in Surah Al-Hashr), went round to every tribe.
