From him, from Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Mustawarad Al-Nakha’ie, from the one who reported it: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said; ‘From the Angels who are in the sky of the world, they come to one, and two, and three when they are mentioning the virtues of the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww), so they say: ‘But did you see those in their scarcity (of numbers) and the abundance of their enemies, describing the virtues of the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww)?’ So the other group of Angels say: “[62:4] That is Allah’s grace; He grants it to whom He pleases, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace”.
