Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (And those that swim with a swimming)

Allah the Exalted said:

And those that swim with a swimming

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحاً

[Al-Naziat: 3] Also, the angels glorify by the command of Allah,Meaning: they hasten in it just as a swimmer hastens in the water, and as Allah the Exalted said regarding the sun, the moon, the night, and the day:

all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.

كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

[Al-Anbiya: 33] .
So the meaning is that they glorify by the command of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, in accordance with what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, willed, and the angels are stronger than the jinn, and the jinn are stronger than humans,Look at the saying of Allah the Exalted regarding Sulayman:

⁽³⁸⁾ [Solomon] said, "O assembly [of jinn], which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?" ⁽³⁹⁾ A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy." ⁽⁴⁰⁾ Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."

قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلأ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ * قَالَ عِفْريتٌ مِنْ الْجِنِّ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقُومَ مِنْ مَقَامِكَ وَإِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِينٌ * قَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنْ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ

[Al-Naml: 38-40] meaning if you extend your gaze and then return it, before it returns to you I will bring it to you

And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful.

فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرّاً عِنْدَهُ قَالَ هَذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّي لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ

[Al-Naml: 40] he saw it immediately,The scholars said: the angels carried it until they brought it to Sulayman, from where? From Yemen, and Sulayman was in the Levant in an instant, so this indicates that the strength of the angels is far greater than the strength of the jinn, and the strength of the jinn is greater than the strength of the children of Adam; because no one from the children of Adam can bring the throne of the Queen of Sheba from Yemen to the Levant before a long time has passed, the result is that the angels glorify by the command of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, with what He commands them.
