Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Support of the Angels The scholars of Tafsir differ over whether the promise contained in these Ayat referred to the battle of Badr or Uhud. The First ViewThere are two opinions about this, one of them saying that Allah's statement,إِذْ تَقُولُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ((Remember) when you said to the believers) 3:124, is related to His statement,وَلَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍ(And Allah has already made you victorious at Badr) 3:123.
