80 Abasa(عبس), Ayah 15

بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ 15 ١٥

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, (15)

Tafsir

بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَ‌ةٍ كِرَ‌امٍ بَرَ‌رَ‌ةٍ (in the hands of those scribes who are honourable, righteous. Abasa 80: 15 16 )

The word safarah, with fathah [=a+a ] on the first two letters, may be the plural of safir which means a 'scribe'. In this case, it would refer to the recording angels, or to the Prophets ( علیہم السلام) and those of their aides who write down the revelation. Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ and Mujahid (رح) hold this view.
