except Iblīs, who was arrogant and became one of the disbelievers27.

Notes

[27] This command of Allah to bow down before Adam was a test of obedience. Satan refused to comply out of arrogance for he thought he was better than Adam.

Except Iblîs (Satan): he was proud2 and was one of the disbelievers.

Notes

[2] (V.38:74): See the footnote of (V.22:9).

Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers.

Not so Iblis: he was haughty, and became one of those who reject Faith.

But not Iblis: he was proud and he was one of the unbelievers.

Except Iblis; he waxed proud, and was (one) of the disbelievers.
