The Zabaniyya (Arabic: الزبانية, romanized: az-zabāniya) are the "Wardens of hell" (Arabic: خَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ, romanized: khazanati jahannam), who torture the sinners or carry of the souls of the wicked. They are identified with the "Nineteen angels of Hell", and "Angels of punishment", and "Guardians of Hell", and "Angels of hell".
As angels, the Zabaniyya are, despite their gruesome appearance and actions, ultimately subordinate to God, and thus their punishments are considered in Islamic theology as just.
According to Al-Qurtubi, Zabaniyah is a plural name a group of an angel. According to the Quran and the ahadith, the Zabaniyah are nineteen in number and Maalik is their leader.
Mujahid ibn Jabr defended the idea that the Zabaniyah are angels against contrary assertions. In the Turkish Mi'raj literature, the Zabaniyah are under command of the nineteen angels of punishment.

Scottish orientalist H. A. R. Gibb has recorded a tradition that while the angels of mercy are said to be created from light (nur), the angels of punishment are usually said to be created from fire (nar). However, this distinction are not universally accepted among Muslim scholars. Both Ibn Rajab, and Al-Qurtubi narrates in his exegesis on Surah 66:6 that the angels of hell were created from anger, and that tormenting creatures is to them like food for the children of Adam.[citation needed] Some[who?] consider the Zabaniyah to be the hell's angels' subordinates.
A tradition from At-Tadhkirah, a book authored by Al-Qurtubi, recorded that one of Zabaniyah was named Daqä'il (Arabic: دقائل) accompanied the Angel of Death whenever he take the soul of a sinner.
A Zabaniyah angel called Susāʾīl shows Muhammad the punishments of sinners in hell. However, the authority from Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim has narrated that the one which Muhammad met during Mi'raj and shown Muhammad about hell was Maalik himself, the leader of Zabaniyah.
