Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
quran:7:11 –

And We have certainly created you, ˹O Mankind˺, and given you ˹human˺ form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.

And We created you, that is, your father Adam, then shaped you, that is, We shaped him with you ˹deposited˺ in his back, then said to the angels: ‘Prostrate yourselves before Adam!’, a prostration that is a bow of salutation. So they fell prostrate, all save Iblīs, the father of the jinn, who was among the angels — he was not of those who make prostration.

القرآن:٧:١١ –

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ السَّاجِدِينَ

{ولقد خلقناكم} أي أباكم آدم {ثم صوَّرناكم} أي صورناه وأنتم في ظهره {ثم قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لآدم} سجود تحية بالانحناء {فسجدوا إلا إبليس} أبا الجن كان بين الملائكة {لم يكن من الساجدين}.
