Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Isra 17:61

Word by word

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ ءَأَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِينًا

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يذكر تعالى عداوةإبليس لعنه الله لآدم عليه السلام ، وذريته وأنها عداوة قديمة منذ خلق آدم فإنه تعالى أمر الملائكة بالسجود فسجدوا كلهم إلا إبليس استكبر وأبى أن يسجد له افتخارا عليه واحتقارا له ( قال أأسجد لمن خلقت طينا ) كما قال في الآية الأخرى ( أنا خير منه خلقتني من نار وخلقته من طين ) [ الأعراف 12 .وقال أيضا ( أرأيتك ) ، يقول للرب جراءة وكفرا والرب يحلم وينظر
