And when it was previously stated that they distanced themselves from the resurrection due to their becoming after death mere bones; and Allah, the Most High, informed of His power over that; even if they were to become what is more difficult for them in resurrection than bones; by being stones; or iron; and He indicated His power over acting by breaking the norm in iron; by softening it for a servant of His; then in stones in a manner of progression in the confused resurrection; with something more astonishing than that; which is the granting of life to it for another servant of His; He indicated His action in the dust; which is the end of the bones; which led them to distance themselves by something more astonishing than all that has preceded; and that is by granting complete life with speech upon it; without there having preceded it a state of life at all; and that is by the creation of Adam - blessings and peace be upon him - who is their origin; along with what is in that of preserving the context in consolation that the verses do not benefit the one judged with his misery; and that Adam - blessings and peace be upon him - was subjected to the envious; and his harm intensified towards him; despite the fact that he is the chosen one of Allah; and the first of His prophets; with the clarification that most of the causes of tyranny is envy; which led Iblis to what he did; so Allah, the Most High, said: "And when"; meaning: and also mention what occurred of tyranny; along with the witnessing of the verses; at the beginning of this creation; from Iblis; who is among the most knowledgeable of creation regarding the verses of Allah; and His greatness; then from those who followed him from the descendants of Adam - blessings and peace be upon him - after the realization of his enmity; in opposing their Lord, the Benefactor to them; while claiming his guardianship; when He said: "Say"; meaning: by what we have of greatness; which nothing disobeys its will; "to the angels"; when We created your father Adam; and preferred him; "Prostrate to Adam"; in compliance with My command; "So they prostrated except Iblis"; he refused to prostrate; due to being among those upon whom the word was justified; and what he knew of the power of Allah; and His greatness did not benefit him; and that is the meaning of His saying: "He said"; meaning: to Us; denying; being arrogant; "Should I prostrate"; meaning: in submission; "to one whom You created"; while being the origin of his being; "from clay"; so he disbelieved in his relation to Us regarding injustice; and lack of wisdom; imagining that he is more honored than Adam - blessings and peace be upon him -; in that the branches return to the roots; and that the fire which is his origin is more honorable than clay; and he overlooked that clay is more beneficial than fire; so he is more honored; and according to the estimation of the descent, all jewels are of one kind; and Allah, the Most High; who created them from nothing; prefers some of them over others; by what He brings about in them of qualities; as has been previously indicated in "And We have certainly preferred some of the prophets over others" [Al-Isra: 55].
