وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said رَبُّكَ your Lord لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ to the angels إِنِّى Indeed, I (am) جَاعِلٌۭ going to place فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth خَلِيفَةًۭ ۖ a vicegerent قَالُوٓا۟ they said أَتَجْعَلُ Will You place فِيهَا in it مَن (one) who يُفْسِدُ will spread corruption فِيهَا in it وَيَسْفِكُ and will shed ٱلدِّمَآءَ [the] blood[s] وَنَحْنُ while we نُسَبِّحُ [we] glorify (You) بِحَمْدِكَ with Your praises وَنُقَدِّسُ and we sanctify لَكَ ۖ [to] You قَالَ He said إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I أَعْلَمُ [I] know مَا what لَا not تَعْلَمُونَ you know ٣٠
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we exalt You with praise and declare Your perfection?" He [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."
