Tafsir of verse 29
Al-Mukhtasar
If I fashion his image and perfect his creation then prostrate to him in obedience to My command and to greet him.
When I have shaped him and breathed into him of My spirit12, then fall down before him in prostration.”
Notes
[12] The spirit which Allah created for that body, not His own Spirit (as some mistakenly believe). Allah attributed it to Himself as a sign of honoring him, as in nāqat Allah (the she-camel of Allah).
"So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves unto him."
So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.
So, when I have molded him and breathed into him of My Spirit, fall down to him prostrating!"
[Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay [i.e., earth]."
[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me [i.e., my death] until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."
