بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

29.31-32

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰىۙ-قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُوْۤا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْیَةِۚ-اِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِیْنَﭕ(31) قَالَ اِنَّ فِیْهَا لُوْطًاؕ-قَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِیْهَا ﱞ لَنُنَجِّیَنَّهٗ وَ اَهْلَهٗۤ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ ﱪ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِیْنَ(32)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And when Our angels came with glad tidings to Ibrahim, they said, 'We will definitely destroy the people of this town; indeed, its residents are unjust.' He (Ibrahim) said, 'Loot is in it.' They said, 'We know very well whatever is in it. We shall definitely rescue him and his family, except his wife; she is amongst those who remain behind.'

Commentary

Here, the angels attributed the act of giving salvation to themselves (although in reality it is Allah Almighty who gives salvation); from this it is clear that some actions of Allah Almighty can be ascribed to His special servants because they become an intermediary for the manifestation of the action, just as the angels were here. Therefore, for example, there is nothing wrong in a believer saying that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم grants deliverance from Hell, bestows Paradise and provides help at the time of difficulty.
