2
وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٞ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ خَلِيفَةٗۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَتَجۡعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفۡسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسۡفِكُ ٱلدِّمَآءَ وَنَحۡنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَۖ قَالَ إِنِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ
30. And (mention) when your Lord said to the angels, "I am placing upon the earth a successive authority [16]. They said: "Will You place in it someone who will cause corruption there and shed blood, while we glorify You with praises and sanctify You?" He (Allāh) said: "I know what you do not know."
[16]. Mankind, generations after generations.
