Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The angels are greater than the humans in general, including the prophets, and specifically the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And some of the angels are better than the Muslims in general, including the prophets, and specifically the Prophet (peace be upon him).
Answer:
This discussion is of no benefit, meaning, which is better, the angels or the righteous among humans? This is a discussion that yields no benefit, and one should not enter into it. The commentator of the Tahawiyyah, when he addressed this issue, said that it is long-tailed and yields little.
