Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-A'raf 7:20

Word by word

فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لِيُبْدِىَ لَهُمَا مَا وُۥرِىَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْءَٰتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَىٰكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِدِينَ

But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

فعند ذلك حسدهما الشيطان ، وسعى في المكر والخديعة والوسوسة ليسلبا ما هما فيه من النعمة واللباس الحسن ، وقال كذبا وافتراء : ما نهاكما ربكما عن أكل الشجرة إلا لتكونا ملكين أي : لئلا تكونا ملكين ، أو خالدين هاهنا ولو أنكما أكلتما منها لحصل لكما ذلكما كقوله : ( قال يا آدم هل أدلك على شجرة الخلد وملك لا يبلى ) [ طه : 120 ] أي : لئلا تكونا ملكين ، كقوله : ( يبين الله لكم أن تضلوا ) [ النساء : 176 ] أي : لئلا تضلوا ، ( وألقى في الأرض رواسي أن تميد بكم ) [ النحل : 15 ] أي : لئلا تميد بكم .وكان ابن عباس ويحيى بن أبي كثير يقرءان : " إلا أن تكونا ملكين " بكسر اللام . وقرأه الجمهور بفتحها .
