How sound is the report that Iblis wailed four times: when he was cursed, when he was cast down, when Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent, and when "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds" was revealed?
Iblis wailed four times: when he was cursed, when he was cast down, when Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a prophet after a long interval since the previous messengers, and when Surah Al-Fatihah was revealed. This report has been narrated from Mujahid, but it is a matter of the unseen, and its continuous chain of narration back to the Prophet (peace be upon him) has not been established.
