Az-Zukhruf 43:19

وَجَعَلُواْ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًاۚ أَشَهِدُواْ خَلۡقَهُمۡۚ سَتُكۡتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمۡ وَيُسۡـَٔلُونَ

Still they have labelled the angels, who are servants of the Most Beneficent, as female. Did they witness their creation? Their statement will be recorded, and they will be questioned!
