المَلائِكَةُ الحَفَظَةُ The Guardian Angels

7ـ الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في قولهِ تعالى: «لَهُ مَعقِّباتٌ مِنْ بَينِ يَدَيهِ ومِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظونَهُ مِنْ أمْرِ اللّه‏ِ» ـ: بأمرِ اللّه‏ِ مِن أن يَقعَ في رَكِيٍّ، أو يَقَعَ علَيهِ حائطٌ، أو يُصيبَهُ شيءٌ؛ حتّى إذا جاءَ القَدَرُ خَلّوا بينَهُ وبينَهُ يَدفَعونَهُ إلَى المَقاديرِ، وهُما مَلَكانِ يَحفَظانِهِ باللَّيلِ، ومَلَكانِ يَحفَظانِهِ بالنَّهارِ يَتَعاقَبانِ .

7– Imam al-Baqir (AS), with regard to Allah’s verse in the Qur’an: "He has guardian angels, to his front and his rear, who guard him by Allah's command" [Qur’an 13:11], said, ‘By the command of Allah he is protected from falling into a well or from a wall falling onto him, or from being struck with something, until the decree of Allah comes. They [i.e. the angels] are a bridge between him and it and pass him onto his decrees. There are two angels that protect him in the night, and two angels following them that protect him in the day.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 59, p. 179, no. 16]
