إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
﴿۳۱﴾
Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves. (31)
قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
﴿۳۲﴾
(Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?" (32)
قَالَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ
﴿۳۳﴾
(Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape." (33)
قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ
﴿۳۴﴾
(Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed. (34)

"And the curse shall be on thee till the day of Judgment." (35)
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنْظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

﴿۳۹﴾
(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,- (39)
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

"Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)." (40)
