Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Threat of Iblis to tempt Mankind, and Allah's Promise of Hell for himAllah informed about the rebellion and arrogance of Iblis, in that he said to the Lord:بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى(Because You misled me,) i.e., because You misled me and misguided me.لأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ(I shall indeed adorn the path of error for them) meaning, for the progeny of Adam.فِى الاٌّرْضِ(on the earth,) meaning - I will make sin dear to them, and will encourage, provoke and harass them to commit sin.
