I had no knowledge of the exalted chiefs when they contended: (۶۹)

Naught is revealed to me save that I am a plain warner (۷۰)

When your Lord said to the angels; Surely I am going to create a mortal from dust: (۷۱)

So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down making obeisance to him (۷۲)

And the angels did obeisance, all of them, (۷۳)

But not Iblis: he was proud and he was one of the unbelievers (۷۴)

He said: O Iblis! what prevented you that you should do obeisance to him whom I created with My two hands? Are you proud or are you of the exalted ones? (۷۵)

He said: I am better than he; Thou hast created me of fire, and him Thou didst create of dust (۷۶)

He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are driven away: (۷۷)

And surely My curse is on you to the day of judgment (۷۸)
