Ah! Just as Gabriel, Michael and the other angels heard in the realm of hiddenness "Bow to Adam!", in the hiddenness of the world of hiddenness and contemplation, He spoke again (to Iblis) "Do not bow to another than Me". In public He says "Bow to Adam" and in secret, He asked "Oh Iblis, reply, 'Will I bow to whom you have created from clay !?', whispered the divine will in the heart of Iblis "
And so the wretched fellow, in accord with what he was ordered in secret, said "I will not bow to whom you have created from clay". He replied "My curse is upon you !" Iblis answered "Since the robe of honor comes from You whether it brings curse or mercy no matter".
