The discourse on the explanation of His statement: inna alladhīna ʿinda rabbika lā yastakbirūna ʿan ʿibādatihi wa-yusabbiḥūnahu wa-lahu yasjudūn (206) ("Indeed, those who are with your Lord are not too proud to worship Him, and they glorify Him, and to Him they prostrate themselves").
Abū Jaʿfar said: The Exalted, whose mention is exalted, says: Be not too proud, O you who listen and pay attention to the Qurʾān, to worship your Lord; and remember Him when the Qurʾān is recited, in humility and fear and without speaking aloud. For those who are with your Lord, namely His angels, are not too proud to humble themselves before Him in lowliness and meekness, and that is the "worship" (al-ʿibāda). (wa-yusabbiḥūnahu), He says: and they glorify their Lord through their humility toward Him and their worship of Him. (wa-lahu yasjudūn), He says: and to Allāh they perform the prayer — and that is their prostration (sujūd). So perform you too the prayer to Him, and glorify Him through worship, just as the angels who are with Him do.
