And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves.
English Transliteration
Walaw jaAAalnahu malakan lajaAAalnahu rajulan walalabasna AAalayhim ma yalbisoona
Tafsir of Verse 9
And had We made him an angel, yet assuredly We would have made him a man, and confused for them the thing which they themselves are confusing.
If We had made it an angel, We should have sent him as a man, and We should certainly have caused them confusion in a matter which they have already covered with confusion.
