3:80

وَلَا يَأْمُرَكُمْ أَن تَتَّخِذُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ أَرْبَابًا ۗ أَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

walā yamurakum an tattakhidhū l-malāikata wal-nabiyīna arbāban ayamurukum bil-kuf'ri baʿda idh antum mus'limūna

Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?

— Saheeh International

He would never command you to take angels and prophets as lords. How could he command you to be disbelievers after you had devoted yourselves to God?

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Nor would he order you to take angels and Prophets for lords (gods). Would he order you to disbelieve after you have submitted to Allâh’s Will? (Tafsir At-Tabarî).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
