Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “None touches it except the purified”

The questioner:
We take Yusuf from Al-Jawf, please, Yusuf. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
Shaykh, I ask you about the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Waqi'ah 56:79]. Do we conclude that the intended meaning here is wudu' (ablution)? Okay, thank you.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the verse is about the angels:[Al-Waqi'ah 56:78-79] meaning the angels (peace be upon them), and the hidden book is the Preserved Tablet, because the Qur'an is written in the Preserved Tablet. As for the mushafs (written copies of the Qur'an) in our hands, only a pure person may touch them, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Muwatta Malik 15:1 Yes.
We take Yusuf from Al-Jawf, please, Yusuf. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
Shaykh, I ask you about the saying of Allah the Exalted:
None touch it except the purified.
لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَThe Shaykh:
Yes, the verse is about the angels:
(78) In a Register well-protected; (79) None touch it except the purified.
فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَno-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pure
لا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
