وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

Verse meaning

This is the verse translation, not a definition of the individual word.

And [remember] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam[1],” so they prostrated, except Iblīs[2], who refused and was arrogant, and so became one of the disbelievers.

Source

[1] This prostration was done in obedience to Allah, out of respect, not worship. [2] The proper name of Satan, who was not an angel but one of the jinn (see 18:50).
