Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And one of them) of the angels; and it is said this means: of created beings (who should say: Lo! I am a God beside Him) beside Allah, (that one We should repay with hell) Hell will be his lot because of this. (Thus We repay wrong-doers) thus We repay disbelievers.

And should any of them say ‘I am a god besides Him’ that is besides God in other words a god other than Him — and this is Iblīs who summoned others to worship his soul and commanded that it be obeyed — such a one We will requite with Hell. Thus in the same way that We requite him We requite wrong-doers idolaters.
