15. Hixhr · verses 26–32

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;

وَٱلۡجَآنَّ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ

Waaljanna khalaqnahu min qablu min nari alssamoomi

And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.

وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

Waith qala rabbuka lilmalaikati innee khaliqun basharan min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;

فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ

Faitha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena

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

فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ

Fasajada almalaikatu kulluhum ajmaAAoona

So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:

إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

Illa ibleesa aba an yakoona maAAa alssajideena

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

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

Qala ya ibleesu ma laka alla takoona maAAa alssajideena

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