Alleged contradiction in the Quran

[muslimforever2012]

Assalamu alaikum everyone.

Sorry if I annoyed anyone. But I couldn't find an answer for this.

There were some people who were claiming that there was a contradiction in the Quran due to this:

Remember thou saidst to the Faithful: "Is it not enough for you that Allah should help you with three thousand angels (Specially) sent down?

(3:124)

and


Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord, and He answered you: "I will assist you with a thousand of the angels, ranks on ranks."


(8:9)

Is there any way to respond?

Jazzakallah for answers.
