(Al-Ahraf) 7 : 12
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ طِينٍ
Lord Allah asked: "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" Iblis replied: "I am better than him, You created me from the fire while You created him from the clay".
It is told in verses 15: 32- 33: "Lord asked: 'Oh Iblis, what is with you that you are not with those who have prostrated?' He replied: 'Never would I prostrate to a man whom You have created out of sounding, adhesive, and foul-smelling black clay'". It is told in verses 38: 75-76: "Lord asked: Oh Iblis! What prevented you from prostrating to the one whom I have created with My hands? Are you haughty? Or are you one of the highest?'. Iblis replied: 'I am better than him, You created me from the fire while You created him from the clay'".
