Ibn Al-Jawzee states:
Some of the wise people said:Iblees entered upon Fir'awn who said: "Who are you?" He said: "I am Iblees." He said: "What brings you here?" To which he said: "I came to look at you, for I am amazed at your insanity." He replied: "How is that?" He (Iblees) said: "I had enmity for another being which was created like me; and I refused to prostrate to him; thus I was expelled and cursed. But you claim that you are The Ilah (God); this, by Allaah, is insanity."
