لَّوْ
كَانَ
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
مَلَائِكَةٌ
يَمْشُونَ
مُطْمَئِنِّينَ
لَنَزَّلْنَا
عَلَيْهِم
مِّنَ
السَّمَاءِ
مَلَكًا
رَّسُولًا

Say, ‘Had there been angels in the earth, walking around and residing [in it like humans do], We would have sent down to them an angel from the heaven as apostle.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Say, "If there were settled, on earth, angels walking about in peace and quiet, We should certainly have sent them down from the heavens an angel for a messenger."
