Tafsir of verse 123

Al-Mukhtasar

Allah said to Adam and Eve: “Both of you and Iblis, descend from paradise, because he is your enemy and you are his enemies. If there comes to you from Me an explanation of My path, then whoever amongst you follows the explanation of my path, acts accordingly and does not divert from it, he will not go astray from the truth nor will he be misfortunate in the afterlife through punishment, but rather Allah will enter him into paradise.

Notes

[46] Neither go astray (in this life) nor fall into misery (in the Hereafter).

He (Allâh) said: "Get you down (from the Paradise to the earth), both of you, together, some of you are an enemy to some others. Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance he shall neither go astray, nor shall be distressed.

He said: Go down hence, both of you, one of you a foe unto the other. But when there come unto you from Me a guidance, then whoso followeth My guidance, he will not go astray nor come to grief.

He said: "Get ye down, both of you,- all together, from the Garden, with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery.

He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy;

Said He, "Get down, you two altogether out of it; some of you an enemy to some (others); yet, in case ever there definitely comes to you from Me guidance, then whoever closely follows My guidance, so he will not err away, nor will he be wretched;
