Chapter: And we believe in the angels of Allah the Exalted, and that they are << عباد مكرمون * لا يسبقونه بالقول وهم بأمره يعملون >> [ al-Anbiya: 26_ 27 ] .

The Shaykh : Now we move on to faith in the angels.
This is the second pillar of the pillars of faith, according to the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said to Jibril:
He says: "We believe in the angels of Allah the Exalted, and that they are

honored servants. ⁽²⁷⁾ They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

عباد مكرمون * لا يسبقونه بالقول وهم بأمره يعملون

[Al-Anbya 21:26-27]

".
The angels, yes, he says: "in the angels of Allah". The author attributed the angels to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Is there in the Qur'an an attribution of the angels to Allah? Where?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, he made them the servants of Allah, but Allah attributed the angels to Himself in His saying: "Our messengers took his soul, and they did not fail".
And the One who honors them is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and others besides Allah may honor them, as in His saying: So here, the angels were honored by Ibrahim, because they came in the form of humans.
Meaning: they do not precede Him in speech by saying what He does not say, nor in action. And for this reason He said: His saying "by His command": the preposition "by" indicates causality, and also accompaniment. That is, they perform a command, meaning they perform an action according to what He commanded them to do, and they perform an action because of His command, so they hasten to act.
