Qur'an 77:4

By those who winnow with a winnowing,

Then separate them one from another,

sa´an nan, da ãyõyi(1) mãsu rarrabe gaskiya da ƙarya rarrabħwa.

Allah then says, فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا ﴿٤﴾ فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا ﴿٥﴾ عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا ﴿٦﴾ The Fariqat that separate, the Mulqiyat that remind, excusing or warning. meaning, the angels. This was said by Ibn Mas`ud, Ibn `Abbas, Masruq, Mujahid, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, As-Suddi and Ath-Thawri. There is no difference of opinion here, because they (the angels) are the ones who descend with Allah's command to the Messengers, separating between the truth and falsehood, guidance and misguidance, and the lawful and the forbidden. They bring the revelation to the Messengers, which contain exemption or absolvement for the creatures and a warning for them of Allah's torment if they oppose His command.
