قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِم ۖ بَلْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ٱلْجِنَّ ۖ أَكْثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّؤْمِنُونَ ٤١

They will say, "Exalted are You! You, [O Allah ], are our benefactor not them. Rather, they used to worship the jinn; most of them were believers in them."

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

قَالُواThey (the angels) will say:سُبْحَانَكَGlorified be You!meaning, exalted and sanctified be You above the notion that there could be any god besides You.أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِمYou are our Protector instead of them.means, we are Your servants and we disown these people before You.بَلْ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الْجِنَّNay, but they used to worship the Jinn;meaning, the Shayatin, because they are the ones who made idol worship attractive to them and who misguided them.أَكْثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّوْمِنُونَmost of them were believers in them.This is like the Ayah:إِن يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلاَّ إِنَـثاً وَإِن يَدْعُونَ إِلاَّ شَيْطَـناً مَّرِيداًلَّعَنَهُ اللَّهُThey invoke nothing but females besides Him, and they invoke nothing but Shaytan, a persistent rebel! Allah cursed him. (4:117-118)Allah says
