Why did God ask the Angels and Jinns to prostrate to Adam?

Adam sure possessed something special that was superior that what the Angels and Jinns had. Can someone help me discover it ?

    Got taught the Abgels and Adam the names of everything.

    When he asked the Angels to identify the significance of each name, they couldn't, but Adam did.

    Adam could think for himself, and learn not only what he was told.

    So God told all to prostrate to Adam, and the Angels did, as they didn't even have the choice not to. But Satan didn't (by the way, he was the only Jinny there.) because he was too arrogant.

    God created ADAM with better qualities than Angels & Jinns.

    So God asked Angels & Jinns to prostrate to see who amongst Angels & Jinns follow this commands.
