Word by word

فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ كَلِمَـٰتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

فتلقى آدمُ بالقبول كلماتٍ، ألهمه الله إياها توبة واستغفارًا، وهي قوله تعالى: {رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ} فتاب الله عليه، وغفر له ذنبه إنه تعالى هو التواب لمن تاب مِن عباده، الرحيم بهم.
