Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Is the issue of the angels' superiority over humans a matter of creed? And is the hadith qudsi cited as evidence that the angels are superior?
The Shaykh:
Does the matter of the angels and humans concern us in any way? What is the reason for this? The scholars say that there is no reason for it and no basis for it. Is it obligatory to leave it alone? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
We have not even learned the necessary matters of creed, so how can we proceed to matters that have no benefit and no connection to the creed?
