This is like the Ayah;

وَإِذَا قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـيِكَةِ اسْجُدُواْ لاِدَمَ فَسَجَدُواْ إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَأءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ بِيْسَ لِلظَّـلِمِينَ بَدَلاً

And (remember) when We said to the angels;"Prostrate yourselves unto Adam."
