What has come in the repentance of Adam


Allah says in His Qur’an: Then the Satan made them slip therefrom (the Paradise), and got them out from that in which they were. We said: “Get you down all with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time.”

Then Adam received from his Lord Words. His Lord pardoned him (accepted his repentance). Verily He is the One Who forgives (accepts repentance), the most Merciful.(Chapter 2:30-38).

Stated As-Sa’dee in his commentery on these verses [pg. 49-50]: “Allah says: ((but do not come close to this tree)) A kind of tree from the trees of Paradise Allah knows best about it, and Allah forbade them from it as a test and a trial [or for a purpose unknown to us] ((or you will both be from the wrong-doers)) this indicates that which was forbidden was Haraam because the result of it is Thulm.

So their enemy continued to whisper to them and beautify for them what they were forbidden until he caused them to slip…so they were decieved by him and obeyed him, so he got them out from that which they were in from blessings and comfort, and they were sent down to the abode of labor, hardship, and toil.

He goes on: ((Then Adam received)) Allah inspired him ((from his Lord Words)) and they are his statement ((O Allah! We have wronged our own souls)) so he confesed his sin and asked Allah for His forgivness ((his Lord forgave him)) accepted his repentance((Verily He is the One Who forgives)) for the one who repents to him and returns from sin.

Sufyaan ibn Uyainah said:

Whoever his sin is from desire (craving), have hope for his repentance, for indeed Adam disobeyed Allah from desire(craving)and was forgiven, and whoever his sin is from arrogance, then fear for his damnation, for indeed Iblees (Satan) disobeyed Allah from haughtiness and was cursed.” [Tahdheeb Al-Kamaal by Al-Mizzee]
