In what sense did the angels bring the ark?

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:

1. They brought it themselves. Wahb said: "The people asked their prophet to set a time for it to come to them, and he said: ‘At dawn.’ They did not sleep that night, and the angels brought it at dawn. They heard the sound of the angels carrying it between the sky and the earth." According to this, "carried it" has its most obvious meaning.
2. The angels brought it on a cart with two oxen. [also narrated from Wahb] According to this view, it means that they caused it to be carried. Al-Zajjāj stated: "It is permissible in the language to say 'I carried the thing' if you were the cause of it being carried."
