Tafsir Commentary
The Expulsion of Iblis from Jannah, and His Reprieve until the Day of Resurrection
Allah tells us how He issued an unconditional command to Iblis to leave the position he held among the highest of heights. He told him that he was an outcast, i.e., cursed, and that he would be followed by a curse that would hound him until the Day of Resurrection. It was reported that Sa`id bin Jubayr said: "When Allah cursed Iblis, his image into something different from that of the angels, and he made a sound like a bell. Every bell that rings on this earth until the Day of Resurrection is part of that. This was reported by Ibn Abi Hatim.
Said He ‘Then be gone from hence that is from the Garden — but it is also said from the heavens — for you are indeed accursed outcast.
'Then be gone, from the Garden of the world of the holy that rises to His horizon, for you are indeed, accursed and banished therefrom since you are not disengaged from substratum.
'Then be gone, from the Garden of the world of the holy that rises to His horizon, for you are indeed, accursed and banished therefrom since you are not disengaged from substratum.
قال الله تعالى له: فاخرج من الجنة، فإنك مطرود من كل خير، وإن عليك اللعنة والبعد من رحمتي إلى يوم يُبْعَث الناس للحساب والجزاء.
يذكر تعالى أنه أمر إبليس أمرا كونيا لا يخالف ولا يمانع بالخروج من المنزلة التي كان فيها من الملإ الأعلى وأنه رجيم أي مرجوم وأنه قد اتبعته لعنة لا تزال متصلة به لاحقة له متواترة عليه إلى يوم القيامة.
وقوله - سبحانه - : ( قَالَ فاخرج مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللعنة إلى يَوْمِ الدين ) بيان للحكم العادل الذى أصدره الله - تعالى - على إبليس .والضمير فى قوله : ( منها ) يعود إلى السماء لأنها مسكن الطائعين الأخيار ، أو إلى الجنة لأنها لا يسكنها إلا من أطاع الله - تعالى - ، أو إلى المنزلة التى كان فيها قبل طرده من رحمة الله .. أى : قال الله - تعالى - لإِبليس على سبيل الزجر والتحقير : فاخرج من جنتى ومن سمائى فإنك ( رجيم ) مطرود من كل خير وكرامة .
وقوله ( فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا ) يقول الله تعالى ذكره لإبليس: ( فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ ) .والرجيم المرجوم، صرف من مفعول إلى فعيل وهو المشتوم، كذلك قال جماعة من أهل التأويل.* ذكر من قال ذلك:حدثنا بشر، قال: ثنا يزيد، قال: ثنا سعيد، عن قتادة ( فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ ) والرجيم: الملعون.حدثنا القاسم، قال: ثنا الحسين، قال: ثني حجاج، عن ابن جريج، قوله ( فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ ) قال: ملعون. والرجم في القرآن: الشتم.
( قال فاخرج منها ) أي : من الجنة ( فإنك رجيم ) طريد .
وبمجموع ما حكي عنه هنا وهناك كان إبليس مصرحاً بتخطئة الخالق ، كافراً بصفاته ، فاستحق الطرد من عالم القدس . وقد بيناه في سورة ص .وعطفت جملة أمره بالخروج بالفاء لأن ذلك الأمر تفرع على جوابه المُنبىء عن كفره وعدم تأهله للبقاء في السماوات .والفاء في { فإنك رجيم } دالّة على سبب إخراجه من السماوات . و ( إنّ ) مؤذنة بالتعليل . وذلك إيماء إلى سبب إخراجه من عوالم القدس ، وهو ما يقتضيه وصفه بالرجيم متلوث الطوية وخبث النفس ، أي حيث ظهر هذا فيك فقد خبثت نفسك خبثاً لا يرجى بعده صلاح فلا تَبقى في عالم القدس والنزاهة .والرجيم : المطرود . وهو كناية عن الحقارة . وتقدم في أول هذه السورة { وحفظناها من كل شيطان رجيم } [ سورة الحجر : 17 ].وضمير { منها } عائد إلى السماوات وإن لم تذكر لدلالة ذكر الملائكة عليها . وقيل : إلى الجنة . وقد اختلف علماؤنا في أنها موجودة .
{ قَالَ } الله معاقبا له على كفره واستكباره { فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ } أي: مطرود مبعد من كل خير
قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَاأي من السموات , أو من جنة عدن , أو من جملة الملائكة .فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌأي مرجوم بالشهب .وقيل : ملعون مشئوم .وقد تقدم هذا كله مستوفى في البقرة والأعراف .
Satan’s ostensible reason for not prostrating himself was that a human being was lower in status than he. But, in fact, the real reason was Satan’s own inferiority complex. He resented it that all creatures were not made to honour him by prostrating themselves before him, as they did before Adam, considering that he had been created before Adam, a human being, whom he considered inferior to himself. He could not agree to pay homage to an undeserving being. It is this type of pride and envy which are collectively at the root of all evils. In the present world such circumstances confront man again and again. One who does not become envious on such occasions has, in effect, followed the example of the angels and one who becomes a victim of envy has, in effect, followed Satan.
The Command to Prostrate was Given to Angels - Iblis was to Follow Suit
Addressing Iblis in Surah Al-A` raf, it was said: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ (What stopped you from prostrating when I ordered you? - 7:12). This shows that the command to prostrate was given, along with the angels, to Iblis as well. However, the verses you have gone through a little earlier apparently give the sense that the command was particular to the an-gels. This could mean that the command was originally given to the angels but, as Iblis too was present among the angels, therefore, he too was covered by this command as a corollary - because, when the command went forth for the most august creation of Allah Ta’ ala, that is, the an-gels, that they pay their homage to Sayyidna 'Adam (علیہ السلام) ، it was obvious that any other creation was bound to follow suit under this command. It was for this reason that Iblis did not respond by saying that he was never asked to prostrate to begin with, so he could not be charged with the crime of non-compliance of the order. Perhaps, the words of the Qur’ an here: ' أَبَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ ' (He refused to be among those who prostrated - 30) may contain a hint in that direction. Rather than say: أَبَىٰ أَن یَّسجُدَ 1 that is, 'he refused to prostrate', what was actually said was: ' أَبَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ ' he refused to be among those who prostrated. This indicates that the main prostraters were after all the angels but Iblis too, being present with them, was reason-bound to join the prostrating an-gels. So, the Divine wrath was against his failure to join.
(He said) Allah said to him: (Then go thou forth from hence) from the form of angels; it is also said that this means: go forth from My favour and mercy; and it is also said that this means: go forth from the earth, (for verily you are outcast) accursed and banished from My mercy.
