Rifā‘ah ibn Rāfi‘ Az-Zuraqi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Jibrīl came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "How do you rate the people who participated in the battle of Badr among you?" He said: "They are from the best of Muslims." or said something similar to that. Jibrīl said: So are the angels that witnessed the battle of Badr. [Sahih/Authentic] - [Al-Bukhari]

عن رفاعة بن رافع الزرقي -رضي الله عنه- قال: جاء جبريل إلى النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قال: ما تَعُدُّونَ أهل بدر فيكم؟ قال: «من أفضل المسلمين» أو كلمة نحوها. قال: وكذلك من شهد بدرا من الملائكة. [صحيح.] - [رواه البخاري.]
