Tafsir
He exalted be He said ‘Adam tell them the angels their names’ all of the things named; so he named each thing by its appellation and mentioned the wisdom behind its creation; And when he had told them their names He exalted said in rebuke ‘Did I not tell you that I know the Unseen in the heavens and the earth? what is unseen in them And I know what you reveal what you manifested when you said ‘What will You appoint therein …’ and what you were hiding what you were keeping secret when you were saying that God would not create anything more knowledgeable or more noble in His eyes than us.
