We93 gave a command to Adam before this,94 but he forgot it, and We did not find firmness of purpose in him:95 Recall to mind the tithe when We said to the angels: "Bow yourselves to Adam;" they all bowed down except Iblis, who refused. At this, We said to Adam,96 "He is an enemy to you and to your wife.97 Be on your guard lest he should have you expelled from the Garden98 and you find yourself in great distress. For here you have quite a few facilities: you neither starve nor remain naked nor suffer from thirst nor from sun."99 But Satan seduced him,100 saying "O Adam, should I show you the tree which gives eternal life and everlasting kingdom?"101 At last, both of them (Adam and his wife) ate of the fruit (of the forbidden tree). As a result thereof, the nakedness of each appeared before the other, and they began to cover themselves up with leaves from the Garden.102 Adam disobeyed his Lord and went astray from the right way.103 Afterwards his Lord chose him104 and accepted his repentance and gave him Guidance, saying,105 "Get down from here both of you (Man and Satan): you will remain enemies to each ether. After this, if you receive Guidance from Me; whoso will follow that Guidance, he will neither go astray nor be involved in wretchedness, and whoso will turn away from My Admonition, he shall have a wretched life106 in the world, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection."107 He will say, "Lord, why have you raised me blind here, whereas I was blessed with sight in the world ?" Allah will say, "Yes; you forgot Our Revelations when they came to you, (as if you were blind), so you are being forgotten today"108 This is how We recompense (in this world)109 those who transgress the bounds and do not believe in the Revelations of their Lord. And the torment of the Hereafter is more terrible and more lasting. Have these people110 not received any guidance (from this lesson of history) that We have destroyed before them many a generation in whose (ruined) habitations they move about today? In fact, there are many Signs in this for sagacious people.111
