[The Messengers, Angels, and Books of God]
وَالمَلَائِكَةُ عِبَاُد اللَّهِ تَعَالَى الْعَامِلُونَ بِأَمْرِهِ، وَلَا يُوصَفُونَ بِذُكُورَةٍ وَلَا أُنُوثَةٍ. وللَّهِ تَعَالَى كُتُبٌ أَنْزَلَها عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِ، وَبَيَّنَ فِيهَا أَمْرَهُ وَنَهْيَهُ وَوَعْدَهُ وَوَعِيدَهُ.

God has books (kutub) which He has sent down to His prophets, and in them He has shown His positive commands and His prohibitions, His promise (waʿd) and His threat (waʿīd).
