وإذ قال ربك للملائكة إني جاعل في الأرض خليفة ۖ قالوا أتجعل فيها من يفسد فيها ويسفك الدماء ونحن نسبح بحمدك ونقدس لك ۖ قال إني أعلم ما لا تعلمون

Al Baqarah

وَ اِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰٓىٕكَةِ اِنِّیْ جَاعِلٌ فِی الْاَرْضِ خَلِیْفَةًؕ-قَالُوْۤا اَتَجْعَلُ فِیْهَا مَنْ یُّفْسِدُ فِیْهَا وَ یَسْفِكُ الدِّمَآءَۚ-وَ نَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَ نُقَدِّسُ لَكَؕ-قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ(30)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And remember when your Lord said to the Angels, “I am about to make a[1] vicegerent (khalīfa) upon the earth.” They said, “Will you appoint upon it one who will create discord therein and shed blood, while we glorify You through Your praise and state Your purity?” He said, “I know that which you do not know.”

Commentary

[1]

The news that a vicegerent (khalīfa) would be made was given to the angels in a way that apparently seems like consultation. In reality, Allah Almighty is free of any need for consultation.
