وَلاَ يَأْمُرَكُمْ أَن تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلْمَلاَئِكَةَ وَٱلنَّبِيِّيْنَ أَرْبَاباً أَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُونَ

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[3:80] He would never order you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would He order you to disbelieve, after you have submitted?
i.e., do not attribute to them so much as an atom in establishing good and evil.
It is said He informs you of the limited definition of human nature (ḥadd al-bashariyya) and the reality of lordship (ḥaqq al-rubūbiyya).
It is said He orders you to respect them with regards to the command and the law but to disdain the worth of created things in comparison to lordship. Would He order you to disbelieve, after you have submitted?: Would He order you to affirm created things after bearing witness to the Real?
It is said: Would He order you to look to outward forms (ashkāl) and to attribute events to likenesses (amthāl) after the lights of unity (tawḥīd) have appeared in your innermost selves and after the suns of withdrawal from created things (tafrīd) have arisen in your hearts?
