Chapter 7, Page 152, Juz 8

11. And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who make prostration. 12. He said: What hindered thee that thou didst not fall prostrate when I bade thee? (Iblis) said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire while him Thou didst create of mud. 13. He said: Then go down hence! It is not for thee to show pride here, so go forth! Lo! thou art of those degraded. 14. He said: Reprieve me till the day when they are raised (from the dead). 15. He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved. 16. He said: Now, because Thou hast sent me astray, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on Thy Right Path. 17. Then I shall come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right hands and from their left hands, and Thou wilt not find most of them beholden (unto Thee). 18. He said: Go forth from hence, degraded, banished. As for such of them as follow thee, surely I will fill hell with all of you.
