Muslim chroniclers also deploy celestial warriors leading troops in battle

Evidence

In the Muslim sources, it is often Muhammad who leads the celestial troops to victory. Kamal al-Din, for example, has a Christian captive swear that he was captured by a larger-than-life celestial warrior (translated in Francesco Gabrieli, Arab Historians of the Crusades [Berkeley: University of California Press, 1969], 38). — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 1689 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
