20:115
Do not be quick with the Quran before its revelation is completed,
but rather say 'Lord, Increasemy knowledge.'
We made a covenant withAdam, but he forgot and showed himself
lacking in steadfastness. And when We said to the angels: 'Prostrate
yourselves before Adam,' they all prostrated themselves except
Satan, who refused.
'Adam,' We said, 'This is your enemy and your wife's. Let him not
turn you out of Paradise and plunge you into affliction. Here you shall
not hunger or be naked; you shall not thirst, or feel the scorching heat.'
But Satan whispered to him, saying: 'Shall I show you the Tree of
Immortality and a kingdomwhich never decays?'
They both ate of its fruit, so that they beheld their nakedness and
began to cover themselves with leaves. Thus Adam disobeyed his
Lord andwent astray.
Then his Lord had mercy on him; He relented towards him and
rightly guided him.
'Go hence both of you.' He said, 'and may your offspring be enemies
to each other.WhenMy guidance is revealed to you, he who follows it
shall neither err nor be afflicted; but he who gives no heed to My
warning shall live in distress and come before Us blind on the Day of
Resurrection.' 'Lord,' he will say, 'why have You brought me blind
beforeYouwhile (inmy lifetime) I had sight? '
He will answer: 'Thus Our revelations were declared to you and you
forgot them. So this day you are yourself forgotten.’
