Satan, the Devils
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ أَأَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِينًا {61}
And when We Said to the Angels: “Do Sajdah to Adam!” They did Sajdah, except ‘إِبْلِيسَ ’ Iblees. He said, ‘Should I do Sajdah to one You Created as clay?’ [17:61]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَقِيلِيِّ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَقِيسُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا تَقِسْ فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَاسَ إِبْلِيسُ حِينَ قَالَ خَلَقْتَنِي مِنْ نَارٍ وَ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ طِينٍ فَقَاسَ مَا بَيْنَ النَّارِ وَ الطِّينِ وَ لَوْ قَاسَ نُورِيَّةَ آدَمَ بِنُورِيَّةِ النَّارِ عَرَفَ فَضْلَ مَا بَيْنَ النُّورَيْنِ وَ صَفَاءَ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَى الْآخَرِ
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Abdullah Al Aqeely, from Isa Bin Abdullah Al Qurshy who said,
Abu Haneefa came over to Abu Abdullah-asws, so he-asws said to him: ‘O Abu Haneefa! It has reached me-asws that you tend to analogise?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Do not analogise, for the first one who analogised was Iblees-la where he-la said, [38:76] He said: I am better than him; You have Created me from fire, and Created him from clay. So he-la analogised what was between the fire and the clay, and had he-la compared Adam-as with the radiance of the fire, he-la would have recognised what is between the two radiances and the excellence of one of the two upon the other’.[1]
