Quoted By:
Allah created the human being from clay, from molded mud.
And the jinn Allah created before, from piercing fire.
Allah said to the angels, “I am creating a human being from clay, from molded mud.”
“When I have formed him, and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down prostrating before him.”
So the angels prostrated themselves, all together.
Except for satan. He refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.
Allah said, “O satan, what kept you from being among those who prostrated themselves?”
satan said, “I am not about to prostrate myself before a human being, whom You created from clay, from molded mud.”
Allah said, “Then get out of here, for you are an outcast”.
“And the curse will be upon you until the Day of Judgment.”
satan said, “My Lord, reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”
Allah said, “You are of those reprieved.”
“Until the Day of the time appointed.”
satan said, “My Lord, since You have lured me away, I will glamorize for them on earth, and I will lure them all away.”
“Except for Your sincere servants among them.”
Allah said, “This is a right way with Me.”
“Over My servants you have no authority, except for the sinners who follow you.”
And Hell is the meeting-place for you all.
