Signs of ar Rahman (The Signs of Allah)

4. Moulana Arsalaan reported to me: I saw the birds many times
protecting them [the Mujaahideen].
5. Qurbaan Muhammad narrated to me that: He once saw about 300
birds that were struck by jets, but not even one was injured.
6. Al-Haaj Muhammad Jal, who was a Mujaaahid at Kanr, reported to me:
On more than ten occasions I saw the birds flying ahead of the jets, whose
speed was one and a half times the speed of sound.
Fire from All Sides
Arsalaan narrated to me:
We were at a place called Shatiree. We were 25 Mujaahideen who
confronted two thousand of the enemy (communists). The battle ensued,
and after 4 hours the communists were defeated. Up to 80 of them were
killed and we captured 26.
We said to the prisoners: Why did you people flee? They said: The
American artillery and ammunition bombarded us from all four
directions.”
Arsalaan says: We had no artillery nor any ammunition. All we had was
our individual rifles. And we were all at one location.
He also narrated to me:
The tanks attacked us and they were about 120 in number. They were
assisted by a mortar and many aircrafts. Our provisions were exhausted.
We were convinced of being captured. We sought protection from Allaah
by means of Du’a. All of a sudden, bullets and shells rained upon the
communists from all directions. They were defeated. There was no one on
the battlefield besides us. He said: They were the Malaa’ikah (Angels.)
