Wollaston, [1911]\nCHAPTER XV., Verse 29.\u2014And when thy Lord said to the angels, \"Verily, I am creating a mortal from crackling clay of black mud wrought into shape;\n(30) \"And when I have fashioned it, and breathed into it of my spirit, then fall ye down before it, adoring.\"\nAnd the angels adored all of them together, save Ibl\u00ees, who refused to be among those who adored.\nHe said, \"O Ibl\u00ees! what ails thee that thou art not among those who adore?\"\nSaid he, \"I would not adore a mortal whom Thou hast created from crackling clay of black mud wrought into form.\"\nHe said, \"Then get thee forth therefrom, and, verily, thou art to be pelted! (35) And, verily, the curse is upon thee until the day of judgment.\"\nSaid he, \"O my Lord! respite me until the day when they shall be raised.\" He said, \"Then, verily, thou art of the respited until the day of the noted time.\"\nHe said, \"O my Lord! for that Thou hast seduced me, I will surely make it seem seemly for them on earth, and I will surely seduce them\nall together; (40) save such of Thy servants amongst them as are sincere.\" Said He, \"This is a right way against Me. Verily, my servants thou hast no authority over, save over those who follow thee of such as are seduced; and, verily, Hell is promised to them all together!\"","title":"The Religion of the Koran: The Devil","type":"page"}
