The Shaykh:
It is not whispering; this is clear. Allah commanded the angels to prostrate, and Iblis was with them.[Sad 38:73-74] And he said to his Lord, "No, [Al-Hijr 15:33]" He was arrogant regarding the command of Allah the Exalted, so Allah cursed him and expelled him.

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ اسْتَكْبَرَprostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."
