Surah Ta Ha [20:115-126] Most certainly We had given Adam a command before, but he forgot. We found him lacking in firmness of resolution. Recall when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam"; all prostrated themselves save Iblis. He refused. Then We said: "Adam! He is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not drive both of you out of Paradise and plunge you into affliction, (for in Paradise) neither are you hungry nor naked, nor face thirst or scorching heat." But Satan seduced him, saying: "Adam! Shall I direct you to a tree of eternal life and an abiding kingdom?" Then the two of them ate the fruit of that tree and their shameful parts became revealed to each other, and they began to cover themselves with the leaves from the Garden. Thus Adam disobeyed his Lord and strayed into error. Thereafter his Lord exalted him, accepted his repentance, and bestowed guidance upon him, and said: "Get down, both of you, (that is, man and Satan), and be out of it; each of you shall be an enemy to the other. Henceforth if there comes to you a guidance from Me, then whosoever follows My guidance shall neither go astray nor suffer misery. But whosoever turns away from this Admonition from Me shall have a straitened life; We shall raise him blind on the Day of Resurrection," where-upon he will say: "Lord! Why have You raised me blind when I had sight in the world?" He will say: "Even so it is. Our Signs came to you and you ignored them. So shall you be ignored this Day."
