(Allah) said: "O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with my hands? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?"

(Allah) said: "Respite then is granted thee -
Till the period of the time made known.
bis zum Tag der (wohl)bekannten Zeit."
