Question:
Who are the purified ones who touch it? Is the reference to the Noble Qur'an or to the Preserved Tablet?
Answer:
It is in the hidden Book, which is the Preserved Tablet. "No one touches it except the purified ones," referring to the angels (peace be upon them). As for the devils, they do not approach the Preserved Tablet; they do not approach it. Only the purified angels approach it. Yes. Some people... and the devils did not bring down [the Qur'an]...[Ash-Shu'ara 26:211-212]
