Sign in to save
وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰ
And ˹remember˺ when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs, who refused ˹arrogantly˺.
Commentary
And remember, O Messenger, when I said to the angels: “Prostrate to Adam as a greeting”. All of them prostrated besides Iblis, who was with them but not from them. He refused to prostrate out of arrogance.
