However...
However, their actions are also those of our Lord, since they are based strictly upon His Orders. We also read this verse: فالمقسمات أمرا And (I swear by) THOSE WHO DISTRIBUTE by Command.[^13] The two Jalals say: { فالمقسمات أمرا } الملائكة تقسم الأرزاق والأمطار وغيرها بين البلاد والعباد {And [I swear by] those who distribute by Command} the angels who distribute the provisions, the rains and others among the towns and creatures.[^14] A prominent Salafi authority, Shaykh Abu Bakr al-Jazairi, has the same exegesis: فالمقسمات أمرا :أي الملائكة تقسم بأمر ربها الأرزاق والأمطار وغيرها بين العباد.
{And [I swear by] those who distribute by Command}: that is the angels.
