Transliteration:( Qaala yaaa Ibleesu maa laka allaa takoona ma'as saajideen )
Allah said, "O Iblis, what prevented you from being among those who prostrate [39]?"
This question was for the expression of reprimand and anger and not for the purpose of inquiry. This tells us that there can be many reasons for asking a question, and in this case, it was to highlight Iblis' disobedience and refusal to follow the command of Allah Almighty.
