28لِيَعلَمَ أَن قَد أَبلَغوا رِسالاتِ رَبِّهِم وَأَحاطَ بِما لَدَيهِم وَأَحصىٰ كُلَّ شَيءٍ عَدَدًاAli UnalIn order that He may establish that they (the Messengers) have, for certain, conveyed the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that they have (of the Revelation), and He has recorded everything one by one.1This same fact is also indicated in the initial verses of Sūrat al-Sāffāt (37). Angels accompanied the Archangel Gabriel when he conveyed the Revelation to God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings. They aligned themselves in ranks along the route by which Gabriel carried the Revelation to him, and some of them drove away the devils that were trying to grab something of the Revelation. Among those angels were also those who stood around the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, while other angels were conveying to him God’s messages concerning the invisible world or the future. These three last verses also emphasize the fact that the Revelation which came to the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, and which he conveyed to the people was perfectly preserved from the time it was entrusted to Gabriel by God until it was conveyed to the people (er-Rāzī, al-Qurtubī, at-Tabatabāī).
