●But the Satan whispered an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them what was hidden from them of their nakedness, and he said: “Your Lord has not forbidden you from this tree except that you may not both become two angels or that you may **(not)** become of the immortals” (20). • And he swore to them both: “Most surely I am a sincere adviser to you” (21).
●Then he caused them to fall by deceit; so when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the Garden; and their Lord called out to them: “Did I not forbid you both from that tree and say to you that the Satan is your open enemy?” (22). • They said: “Our Lord! We have been unjust to ourselves, and if Thou forgive us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers” (23).
●He said: “Get down, some of you being the enemies of others, and there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time” (24). • He (also) said: “Therein shall you live, and therein shall you die, and from it shall you be raised” (25). Third: In Chapter 20 (Ta-Ha): • And certainly We had covenanted unto Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination (115).
●And when We said to the angels: “Prostrate before Adam”, they did prostrate, but 1blīs (did it not); he refused (116). • So We said: “O Adam! surely this is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the Garden so that you should be put to toil (117); • Surely it is (ordained) for you that you shall not be hungry therein nor bare of clothing (118); • and that you shall not be thirsty therein nor shall you feel the heat of the sun” (119) .
●But the Satan whispered an evil suggestion to him; he said: “O Adam! shall I guide you to the tree of immortality and a kingdom which decays not?” (120). • Then they both ate of it, so their nakedness appeared unto them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the Garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so he got astray **(121)** . • Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided (him) (122) .
●He said: “Get down you two therefrom, all (of you) , one of you **(is)** enemy to another. So if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy (123) .
