115 And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We found in him no resolve (to disobey).

116 And when We said to the angels: Be submissive to Adam, they submitted except Iblīs; he refused.

117 We said: O Adam, this is an enemy to thee and to thy wife; so let him not drive you both out of the garden so that thou art unhappy.

118 Surely it is granted to thee therein that thou art not hungry, nor naked,

119 And that thou art not thirsty therein, nor exposed to the sun’s heat.

120 But the devil made an evil suggestion to him; he said: O Adam, shall I lead thee to the tree of immortality and a kingdom which decays not?

121 So they both ate of it, then their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden. And Adam disobeyed his Lord, and was disappointed.

122 Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided (him).

123 He said: Go forth herefrom both — all (of you) — one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me; then whoever follows My guidance, he will not go astray nor be unhappy.

124 And whoever turns away from My Reminder, for him is surely a straitened life, and We shall raise him up blind on the day of Resurrection.

125 He will say: My Lord, why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I used to see?

126 He will say: Thus did Our messages come to thee, but thou didst neglect them. And thus art thou forsaken this day.

127 And thus do We recompense him who is extravagant and believes not in the messages of his Lord. And certainly the chastisement of the Hereafter is severer and more lasting.

128 Does it not manifest to them how many of the generations, in whose dwellings they go about, We destroyed before them? Surely there are signs in this for men of understanding.
