Surah Al-A'raf (The Heights), Verse 12

قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَلَّا تَسْجُدَ اِذْ اَمَرْتُكَ قَالَ اَنَا خَیْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِیْ مِنْ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ طِیْنٍ ۟

Qaala maa mana'aka allaa tasjuda iz amartuka qaala ana khairum minhu khalaqtanee min naarinw wa khalaqtahoo min teen

(Allah) said: "What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay."
