S 2:34 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam, they did sujud except Iblis. He refused and was arrogant and was of the kafirun.


S 7:11 And we created you then we formed you. Then we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam. So they did sujud except Iblis. He was not of those who did sujud.


S 15:29-31 So when I have smoothed him and blown into him from my spirit fall down to him doing sujud. So the angels did sujud all of them together, Except Iblis. He refused to be with those doing sujud.


S 17:61 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam, they did sujud, except Iblis. He said: Am I to do sujud to one you have created as clay?


S 18:50 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam. So they did sujud except Iblis. He was of the jinn. And he acted immorally against his lord’s command. So do you take him and his offspring as protectors instead of me when they are an enemy to you? Miserable was an exchange for the wrongdoers.


S 20:116 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam, they did sujud, except Iblis; he refused.


S 38:71-75 When your lord said to the angels: I am creating a man from clay. So when I have smoothed him and blown into him from my spirit then fall down to him doing sujud. So the angels did sujud, all of them together. Except Iblis; he was arrogant and was of the kafirun. He said: Iblis, what prevented you from doing sujud to what I have created with my hands? Were you arrogant or were you of the exalted?


Let’s compare this with the Life of Adam and Eve:


xiv 1 And Michael went out and called all the angels saying:


'Worship the image of God as the Lord God hath commanded.'


And Michael himself worshipped first; then he called me and said: 'Worship the image of God


3 the Lord.' And I answered, 'I have no (need) to worship Adam.' And since Michael kept urging me to worship, I said to him, 'Why dost thou urge me? I will not worship an inferior and younger being (than I). I am his senior in the Creation, before he was made was I already made. It is his duty to worship me.' The Books of Adam and Eve
