al-Isrā’ (The Night Journey)
ٱلْإِسْرَاء
17:61
وَإِذْ
قُلْنَا
لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ
اسْجُدُوا
لِآدَمَ
فَسَجَدُوا
إِلَّا
إِبْلِيسَ
قَالَ
أَأَسْجُدُ
لِمَنْ
خَلَقْتَ
طِينًا
wa-ʾidh qulnā li-l-malāʾikati sjudū li-ʾādama fa-sajadū ʾillā ʾiblīsa qāla ʾa-ʾasjudu li-man khalaqta ṭīnan
When We told the angels to prostrate before Adam, they all obeyed, except Iblis who said, "Should I prostrate before one whom You have created out of clay?"
