Our Master Al-Khasibi—may Allah illumine his face—mentioned this exact meaning in his Ghadiriyya poem, where he said—may Allah be pleased with him and sanctify his soul:

Then the angels after that went astray,

And remained (Thawa) in the abyss and in shortcoming.

The mention of these verses has preceded. He said: I asked him: "How can one who is in the High Realm (Al-Uluw) be transformed (Yumsakh)?" He replied: "These follow the course of the angels who denied and disavowed; and in the human world, they are like the Ishaqiyya, the Shari'iyya, the Haskiyya, the Hallajiyya, and their like; knowledge with them was merely borrowed and entrusted."

This is supported by what has been reported regarding the arrival of Salman, Al-Miqdad, and Abu Dharr at the house of the Prince of the Believers—Exalted is His Majesty—by night to seek his permission [to enter]. Fiddah came out to them, and they asked her: "What has the Prince of the Believers—Exalted is His Majesty—done?" She said to them: "My Mistress Fatima says to you that He has ascended to heaven, and He is within its constellations (Buruj), decreeing and executing among His servants." So they returned and sat for a while, and the angels descended in waves and processions, and our Master, the Prince of the Believers, descended upon The cloud was carrying Him, and in His hand was His sword, Dhu al-Faqar, dripping with blood.
