Surat an-Nahl from verse (51) to verse (56).
﴿وَللَّه يسْجد مَا فِي السَّمَاوَات﴾ يَعْنِي: الْمَلائِكَةَ ﴿وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ وَالْمَلائِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ﴾ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ؛ يَعْنِي: الْمَلائِكَةَ. قَالَ محمدٌ: قيل فِي قَوْله: (وَالْمَلَائِكَة) أَي: تسْجد مَلَائِكَة الأَرْض.
