Qur'an 37:3

And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

Then those who recite, being mindful,

Sa´an nan da mãsu karãtun abin tunãtarwa.

فَالتَّالِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا ﴿٣﴾ By those who bring the Dhikr. they are the angels;" This was also the view of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Masruq, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ikrimah, Mujahid, As-Suddi, Qatadah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas. Qatadah said, "The angels form ranks in the heavens.'' Muslim recorded that Hudhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "The Messenger of Allah said: فُضِّلْنَا عَلَى النَّاسِ بِثَلَاثٍ: جُعِلَتْ صُفُوفُنَا كَصُفُوفِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، وَجُعِلَتْ لَنَا الْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مَسْجِدًا، وَجُعِلَ لَنَا تُرَابُهَا طَهُورًا، إِذَا لَمْ نَجِدِ الْمَاء We have been favored over the rest of mankind in three ways: * our ranks have been made like the ranks of the angels; * the entire earth has been made a Masjid for us; * and its soil has been made a means of purification for us if we cannot find water.'' Muslim, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah recorded that Jabir bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "The Messenger of Allah said: أَلَا تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ؟ Will you not form ranks as the angels form ranks in the presence of their Lord? We said, `How do the angels form ranks in the presence of their Lord?' He said: يُتِمُّونَ الصُّفُوفَ الْمُتَقَدِّمَةَ، وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ فِي الصَّف They complete the rows nearer the front and they consolidate the rows.'' As-Suddi and others said that the Ayah, فَالزَّاجِرَاتِ زَجْرًا (By those who drive the clouds in a good way). means that they drive the clouds. فَالتَّالِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا (By those who bring the Dhikr). As-Suddi said, "The angels bring the Scriptures and the Qur'an from Allah to mankind.''
