And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I
will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You
place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we
declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that
which you do not know."
He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed
them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen
[aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and
what you have concealed."
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they
prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of
the disbelievers.
And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat
therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not
approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that
[condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you],
as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of
settlement and provision for a time."
We said, "Go down from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from
Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them,
nor will they grieve.
