اِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰٓىٕكَةِ اِنِّیْ خَالِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنْ طِیْنٍ(71) فَاِذَا سَوَّیْتُهٗ وَ نَفَخْتُ فِیْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِیْ فَقَعُوْا لَهٗ سٰجِدِیْنَ(72) فَسَجَدَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ اَجْمَعُوْنَۙ (73) اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِیْسَؕ-اِسْتَكْبَرَ وَ كَانَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(74) قَالَ یٰۤاِبْلِیْسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِیَدَیَّؕ-اَسْتَكْبَرْتَ اَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعَالِیْنَ(75) قَالَ اَنَا خَیْرٌ مِّنْهُؕ-خَلَقْتَنِیْ مِنْ نَّارٍ وَّ خَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ طِیْنٍ(76) قَالَ فَاخْرُ جْ مِنْهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِیْمٌﭕ(77) وَّ اِنَّ عَلَیْكَ لَعْنَتِیْۤ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ(78)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

(Remember) when your Lord said to the angels; that 'I will create a human from clay.' 'Then when I make him perfectly and breathe into him a spirit from Myself, (all of you) should fall down in prostration to him.' So, all the angels prostrated; every one of them, that no one remained behind. Except Iblees (Satan); he became arrogant and (in the knowledge of Allah) he was amongst the disbelievers. Said Allah, 'O Iblees! What prevented you from prostrating to the one whom I have created with My Hands (of power)? Have you become arrogant (now) or were you (always) amongst the arrogant ones?' Said Iblees, 'I am better than him; You made me from fire, and You have created him from clay.' He (Allah) said, 'Get out from Paradise, that you are rejected (i.e. the cursed one)' 'And indeed, My curse is upon you till the Day of Judgement.'

Commentary

As the Makkan disbelievers would argue with the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم out of conceit and jealousy, Prophet Ādam’s creation and Satan’s refusal to prostrate have been mentioned here so that the disbelievers of Makkah heed advice and refrain from being jealous and arrogant.
