Al-Mukhtasar
The angels will say: “You are pure and exalted. You are our guardian, not them, so there is no friendship between us and them, but rather these idolaters used to worship the satans. They used to appear to them as angels, so they would worship them besides Allah, most of them were believers in them”.
They will say, “Glory be to You! You are our Protector, not they. Rather they used to worship the jinn22; most of them believed in them.”
