26 And how many angels are in the heavens, whose intercession avails naught except after Allah gives permission to whom He pleases and chooses.
27 Surely those who believe not in the Hereafter name the angels with female names.
28 And they have no knowledge of it. They follow but conjecture, and surely conjecture avails naught against Truth.
