the angels: "Bow down unto Adam": They bowed down
except Iblis: He said, "Shall I bow down to one whom Thou didst create
from clay?"
P: And when We said unto the angels: Fall down prostrate before Adam and
they fell prostrate all save Iblis, he said: Shall I fall prostrate
before that which Thou hast created of clay?
S: And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made
obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He said: Shall I make obeisance to

Y: He said: "Seest Thou? this is the one whom Thou hast honoured above
me! If Thou wilt but respite me to the Day of Judgment, I will surely

P: And excite any of them whom thou canst with thy voice, and urge thy
