The answer

There is no explicit text stating the disobedience of angels to Allah. What is mentioned in the books of commentators regarding Iblis and his creation from fire as part of the angels, "the jinn," and what is reported about Harut and Marut and their disobedience, are Isra'iliyat (reports of Jewish or Christian origin) that should not be affirmed or denied. Therefore, one should suffice with the Quranic verses and authentic

Hadiths that do not contradict the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah.
