Arabic text
مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذٗا مُّنظَرِينَ
We do not send down the angels except with truth;[671] and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.Translator’s notes (1)
- [671]i.e., with a message or, as the conclusion of the verse suggests, to carry out a promised punishment.
