Adam(as)
.........
to place a viceroy in the earth
1
who will do harm therein and will shed blood
1
He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.
1
He taught Adam all the names,
1
showed them to the angels, saying: Inform me of the names of these
1
We have no knowledge saving that which Thou hast taught us
1
O Adam! Inform them of their names,
1
We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam,
1 2
they fell prostrate, all save Iblis
1 2
Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden,
1
and eat ye freely (of the fruits) thereof where ye will
1
but come not nigh this tree
1
Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them
1
There shall be for you on earth a habitation and
provision for a time
1
Adam received from his Lord words (of revelation),
and He relented toward him
1
verily there cometh unto you from Me a guidance
1
whoso followeth My guidance, there shall no fear
come upon them neither shall they grieve
But they who disbelieve, and deny our revelations,
such are rightful owners of the Fire
1 2
Lo! Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of
Abraham and the Family of 'Imran above (all His)
creatures
1
Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the
likeness of Adam.
