Tafseer Ibn Kathir

مُّطَـعٍ ثَمَّ


Obeyed there,

meaning, he has prestige, his word is listened to, and he is obeyed among the most high gathering (of angels).

Qatadah said,
مُّطَـعٍ ثَمَّ
(Obeyed there)

"This means in the heavens. He is not one of the lower ranking (ordinary) angels. Rather he is from the high ranking, prestigious angels. He is respected and has been chosen for (the delivery of) this magnificent Message."

Allah then says,

أَمِينٌ



trustworthy.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
