Transliteration:( Fasajadal malaaa'ikatu kulluhum ajma'oon )
Then all the angels fell down in prostration together [38].
From "all of them," we learn that all the angels fell down in prostration, and "together" signifies that they did not prostrate separately, but all did so simultaneously. It is clear that all the angels prostrated, whether they were from the heavens or the earth. Some people have exempted certain angels from this, but the author of Roohul Bayaan has stated that this Sajdah (prostration) was, in reality, for the NOOR E MUHAMMADI (the Light of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ).
