43:19
وجعلوا الملايكة الذين هم عباد الرحمان اناثا اشهدوا خلقهم ستكتب شهادتهم ويسالون ١٩
وَجَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَـٰدُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ إِنَـٰثًا ۚ أَشَهِدُوا۟ خَلْقَهُمْ ۚ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَـٰدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُونَ ١٩

Still they have labelled the angels, who are servants of the Most Compassionate, as female. Did they witness their creation? Their statement will be recorded, and they will be questioned!

عِبَادُ الرَّحۡمَٰنِ
ʿibādu r-Raḥmāni
“who are servants of the Lord of Mercy”
عِنْدَ الرَّحۡمَنِ
ʿinda r-Raḥmāni
“who are in the presence of the Lord of Mercy”

Explanation

These readings provide complementary meanings, in reference to the angels (see 21:26 and 21:19 for each meaning) [al-Mahdawi]. Both accord with the same skeletal text.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
