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)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

When Our messengers (angels) came to Ibrāhīm with glad tidings, they said, “Indeed we will destroy the inhabitants of this city; indeed, its inhabitants are oppressors.” He said, “Indeed Lūṭ is among them.” They said, “We are well aware of who is there. We shall most definitely grant salvation to him and his family[1] except his wife; she is of those who will remain behind.”

Commentary

[1]

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.
