And His word: وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ (53:28). The Exalted says: and they have no real knowledge concerning what they say — namely, that they give the angels female names. إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ (53:28). He says: they follow nothing in that except conjecture; that is, they say it only out of conjecture, without knowledge.
And His word: وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًٔا (53:28). He says: and indeed conjecture avails nothing against the truth, such that it could take its place.
