Al-Hijr Verse 32

Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What is the matter with you that you did not join others in prostration?”

Allah said, “O Iblīs, what is the matter with you that you were not with those who prostrated?”

Said He, 'What ails thee, Iblis, that thou art not among those bowing?'

God said, ‘Iblis, why did you not bow down like the others?’

Allah said: O Iblis! what aileth thou that thou art not with the prostrates?

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

The Lord inquired: "Iblis! What is the matter with you that you did not join those who prostrated?"

"How is it, O Iblis," said (the Lord), "you did not join those who bowed in homage?"

Said Allah, “O Iblis! What happened to you that you stayed apart from those who prostrated?”

He said, ‘O Iblis! What kept you from being among those who have prostrated?’

(God) said: "O Iblis! What is the matter with you that you are not among those who have prostrated?"

(Lord) said, `Iblîs! what is (the reason) with you that you would not be with those who submit?´

He said: "You Satan , why (is it) for you (that) you not be with the prostrating?"

Said Allah, "O Iblis! What happened to you that you stayed apart from those who prostrated?"

He said, "O Iblis! What ails you that you are not among the prostrate?"

(Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What is your reason for not being among the prostrators?"

But Iblis (did it not). He refused to be with those who made obeisance.

He said: O Iblis! what excuse have you that you are not with those who make obeisance?

He said: O Iblis! What aileth thee that thou art not among the prostrate?

God asked Iblis, "What made you not join the others in prostration?"

He said: 'iblis, what is the matter with you, that you do you not prostrate yourself'

(Allah) said: "O Iblis! What is your reason for not being among the prostrate"

God asked him, "What is the matter with you, that you are not among those who have prostrated themselves?"

He said, “O Satan, what kept you from being among those who prostrated themselves?”

He, [God] exalted be He; `O Ibls what is wrong with you, what prevents you, that you are not among those prostrating?'

And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels;"I am going to create a man (Adam) from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud. So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) of My spirit (the soul which I created for him,) then fall down, prostrating yourselves before him."

So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together. Except Iblis (Shaytan) - he refused to be among the prostrate.

(Allah) said;"O Iblis! What is your reason for not being among the prostrate!"

Allah informs us of how He mentioned Adam to His angels before He created him, and how He honored him by commanding the angels to prostrate to him. He mentions how His enemy Iblis, amidst all the angels, refused to prostrate to him out of envy, disbelief, stubbornness, arrogance, and false pride. This is why Iblis said;

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لاَِّسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
