Sad 38:73–81

38:73Page 457

فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ ٧٣

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

38:74Page 457

إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٧٤

Except Iblees;¹ he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.

38:75Page 457

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِيَدَيَّۖ أَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ أَمۡ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَالِينَ ٧٥

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands?¹ Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"

38:76Page 457

قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِي مِن نَّارٖ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِينٖ ٧٦

He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

38:77Page 457

قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٞ ٧٧

[Allāh] said, "Then get out of it [i.e., Paradise], for indeed, you are expelled.

38:78Page 457

وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ لَعۡنَتِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٧٨

And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."

38:79Page 457

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ ٧٩

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

38:80Page 457

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ ٨٠

[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

38:81Page 457

إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ ٨١

Until the Day of the time well-known."
