English - Five Volume Translation
He said, ‘I am better than he. [b]Thou hast created me of fire and him hast Thou created of clay.’[3431]
7:13; 15:28; 55:16.
Commentary:
The opponents of a Prophet always regard themselves as superior to him in power, position and prestige. It hurts their sense of pride to give their allegiance to a man whom they consider to be like them or even inferior to them. The main obstacle in the way of their accepting the truth is their false sense of pride and superiority. See also 7:13 and 15:34.
