They (angels) said: "Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise."
English - Sahih International
They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise."
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:32) They replied, "Glory be to You. You alone are free from defect. We possess only that much knowledge which You have given us. *43 Indeed You alone are All-Knowing and All-Wise."
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*43). It seems that the knowledge of each angel and each genre of angel is confined to its own sphere of competence. The angels appointed to administer, let us say, things relating to air have full knowledge about this subject but have no knowledge, say, about water, and so on and so forth. Man's range of knowledge, however, is comprehensive. Even if man's information in a particular area may be narrower than that of the angel directly concerned with it, the total range of his knowledge has a comprehensiveness which has not been granted to the angels.
