قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‌ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَجْزَاءٍ جُزْءٌ لَهُ جَنَاحَانِ وَ جُزْءٌ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ وَ جُزْءٌ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ.

The Prophet (saww) said: ‘The Angels are upon three parts – One group of them has two wings, and another group has three wings, and another one has four wings’.
