The answer

Scholars have differed regarding naming with the names of angels, and many of them have gone to the permissibility [of it]. As for the phrase "silence of the angels," if what is meant by it is that angels are silent or do not speak, then this is an error that should not be [uttered], because angels are honored servants who should not be described with characteristics of inanimate objects or the dead. Rather, they glorify Allah and do not cease. And it is not permissible to describe them with what is unfitting, and it is more proper to avoid everything that might entail error.
