Ali Bin Ibrahim said...

Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘They (Usman’s group, during the compilation of Holy Quran) placed in the composition (of this Quran) the Verse of the condition of the Pledge of Satisfaction (48:10), but rather, the Verse of the Pledge of Satisfaction (48:18) was Revealed first, then the Verse of the conditions of the Pledge of Satisfaction (48:10)’.

[24] و عنه: قال جعفر الصادق (عليه السلام): «و أبى إبليس (لعنه الله) من أن يسجد لآدم (عليه السلام) استكبارا و حسدا، فقال الله تعالى: ما مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِما خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعالِينَ قالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِنْ نارٍ وَ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ طِينٍ و النار تأكل الطين، And from him (author of Tohfat al Ikhwan), who said, Ja’far Al-Sadiq -asws said: ‘And Iblees -la refused from doing Sajdah to Adam -as out of arrogance and envy, so Allah -azwj the Exalted Said: What prevented you from doing Sajdah to what I Created by My Hands?

Were you arrogant or were you from the exalted ones?” [38:75] He said, ‘I am better than him. You Created me from fire and Created him from clay’ [38:76] , and the fire consumes the clay. و أنا الذي عبدتك دهرا طويلا قبل أن تخلقه، و أنا الذي كسوتني الريش و النور، و أنا الذي عبدتك في أكناف السماوات مع الكروبيين و الصافين و المسبحين و الروحانيين و المقربين.

And I -la and the one who worshipped You -azwj for a long time before You -azwj had even Created him -as , I -la am the one whom You -azwj Clothed in feathers and light, and I -la am the one who worshipped You -azwj in the horizons of the skies along with the ones of Proximity, and the ones arranged in rows, and the Glorifying ones, and the spiritual ones, and the close ones’.

قال الله تعالى: لقد علمت في سابق علمي من ملائكتي الطاعة و منك المعصية، فلم ينفعك طول العبادة لسابق العلم فيك، و قد أبلستك من الخير كله إلى آخر الأبد، و جعلتك مذموما مدحورا شيطانا رجيما لعينا.

Allah -azwj the Exalted Said: “I -azwj have Known in the preceding of My -azwj Knowledge, ones of My -azwj Angels of the obedience, and the disobedience from you -la , therefore the prolonged worship of yours -la will not benefit you -la due to the preceding Knowledge about you -la , and you -la have (now) despaired from the goodness, all of it up to the last, forever, and I -azwj hereby Make you -la to be Condemned, Expelled, Satan, Pelted, Accursed!” فعند ذلك تغيرت خلقته الحسنة إلى خلقة كريهة مشوهة، فوثب عليه الملائكة بحرابها و هم يلعنونه، و يقولون له: رجيم ملعون، رجيم ملعون.
