15:29

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ ۝٢٩

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

15:30

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ۝٣٠

So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:

15:31

إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ ۝٣١

Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.

15:32

قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ ۝٣٢

(Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"

15:33

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ ۝٣٣

(Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape."
