quran:8:9 –

˹Remember˺ when you asked help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another."  

When you sought help from your Lord, asking Him to help you by granting you victory over them, and He answered you ˹saying˺: ‘I shall reinforce you, I shall assist you, with a thousand angels, rank upon rank’, one rank following after the next: God promised them this ˹number˺ at first, but it then became three thousand, and then five thousand, as stated in ˹sūrat˺ Āl ‘Imrān ˹Q. 3:124-125˺ (a variant reading ˹of alf, ‘thousand’˺ has the plural āluf, ‘thousands’, similar ˹in pattern˺ to aflus, ‘coins’).
القرآن:٨:٩ –

إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّي مُمِدُّكُمْ بِأَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ  

اذكر {إذ تستغيثون ربَّكم} تطلبون منه الغوث بالنصر عليهم {فاستجاب لكم أني} أي بأني {مُمدُّكم} معينكم {بألف من الملائكة مردفين} متتابعين يردف بعضهم بعضا وعدهم بها أوَّلا ثم صارت ثلاثة آلاف ثم خمسة كما في آل عمران وقرئ بآلُف كأفُلس جمع.
