How evil is that for which they have sold themselvesIf only they knew
God Almighty said to His Prophet Muhammad, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, in the history of his noble book, that during the reign of Solomon, peace be upon him, the Psalms left the book of God and followed what the devils told them to recite magic
The devils used to ascend the heavens, where they listened to the words of the angels, who were talking about some of what will happen, God willing, on earth, in terms of death, order, or calamities. Each word is 70 words, and people wrote that speech in books, and it spread among the children of srael that the jinn and devils know the unseen, God forbid

The task given by God Almighty to Harut and Mart
God Almighty chose two of His angels, the name of one of them is Harut and the name of the other is Marut, and they are two generous angels from God's angels who do not disobey God as He commands them and do what they are commanded.

Wisdom from the descent of Harut and Marut
It is worth mentioning that God sent down Harut and Marut in the land of Babylon as a trial for people, i.e. a trial and a test. God afflicted the people of Babylon with these two trustees, so God afflicts His servants as He wills

The angels are infallible from such sins and major sins. They do not disobey God as He commands them, and they do what they command
