The Holy Quran 3:125 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

بَلَىٰٓ ۚ إِن تَصْبِرُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ وَيَأْتُوكُم مِّن فَوْرِهِمْ هَـٰذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِخَمْسَةِ ءَالَـٰفٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ

Translation

Certainly (this is sufficient)! (Furthermore) If you adopt Taqwa (patience, fortitude and abstain from disobedience and adopt piety) and if they (the enemy) attack you this instant, (then to remove your anxiety) your Rabb shall reinforce you with five thousand marked angels. (Allaah then sent five thousand mounted angels to assist the Muslims in the battle, each angel wearing a turban.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, three thousand are certainly enough. However, if you show patience and steadfastness, adopt piety and keep away from disobedience, and the army of the disbelievers falls upon you all at once, then instead of three thousand, five thousand angels will be sent, who will bear special marks, and their horses too will bear special signs.
