آية: 33

قَالَ لَمۡ أَكُن لِّأَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

(33) He said: “I was not to prostate to a human ˹of skin˺ whom You have created from ˹clinking˺ dried clay, altered in colour and smell!^[3139]”

[3139] He thought himself the better of the two based on the substance of their creation and, thus, more worthy of honouring: Adam, the human, who was created from such a lowly substance as dried clay which has turned dark and smelly, and himself who had earlier been created from powerful, illuminating fire (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Abū al-Suʿūd, al-Saʿdī): “He ˹Allah˺ said: “What prevented you from prostrating as I commanded you!” He said: “I am ˹surely˺ better than him! You created me from fire and created him from clay!”” (7: 12).
