وَمَا جَعَلْنَٓا اَصْحَابَ النَّارِ اِلَّا مَلٰٓئِكَةًࣕ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ اِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذٖینَ كَفَرُواۙ لِیَسْتَیْقِنَ الَّذٖینَ اُو𐻿تُوا الْكِتَابَ وَیَزْدَادَ الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُٓوا اٖیمَانًا وَلَا یَرْتَابَ الَّذٖینَ اُو𐻿تُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَۙ وَلِیَقُولَ الَّذٖینَ فٖی قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَٓا اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِهٰذَا مَثَلًاؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَشَٓاءُ وَیَهْدٖی مَنْ یَشَٓاءُؕ وَمَا یَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ وَمَا هِیَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٰى لِلْبَشَرِࣖ

Translations
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity
Saheeh International
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals
