It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that Jibril (peace be upon him) or another angel came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: What is the status of the people of Badr among you? The noble Companions said: They are the most virtuous and best among us. The angel said: It is the same with us; the angels who participated in Badr are better and more virtuous than the rest of the angels.
