بِتَزْيِينِهِ {وَقَاسَمَهُمَا} بِاللَّهِ {إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ} فَاغْتَرَّا بِهِ وَأَطَاعَاهُ فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ وَالرَّغَدِ وَأُهْبِطُوا إِلَى دَارِ التَّعَبِ وَالنَّصَبِ وَالْمُجَاهَدَةِ.

(from previous page) ⟵ Their enemy continued to whisper to them and adorn for them the consumption of what they were forbidden, until he caused them to slip, meaning he led them to error, by his adornment, and he swore to them by God, "Indeed, I am to you both among the sincere advisors." So they were deceived by him and obeyed him, and he expelled them from the bliss and comfort they were in, and they were sent down to the abode of toil, hardship, and struggle.

بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ :أَيْ: آدَمُ وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ أَعْدَاءُ إِبْلِيسَ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ، وَمِنَ الْمَعْلُومِ أَنَّ الْعَدُوَّ يَجِدُّ وَيَجْتَهِدُ فِي ضَرَرِ عَدُوِّهِ وَإِيصَالِ الشَّرِّ إِلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ طَرِيقٍ وَحِرْمَانِهِ الْخَيْرَ بِكُلِّ طَرِيقٍ، فَفِي ضِمْنِ هَذَا تَحْذِيرُ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ} {أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِي وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ بِئْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلًا}

{some of you to others as enemies}: meaning Adam and his offspring are enemies of Iblis and his offspring. An enemy strives to harm his adversary and bring evil upon him by every means, while depriving him of all good. Implicit in this is a warning to the children of Adam against Satan, as Allah Almighty said: {Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze.} {Will you then take him and his offspring as allies instead of Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched is for the wrongdoers an exchange.}

ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مُنْتَهَى الْإِهْبَاطِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَقَالَ: وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ :أَيْ: مَسْكَنٌ وَقَرَارٌ، {وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ} انْقِضَاءُ آجَالِكُمْ، ثُمَّ تَنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْهَا لِلدَّارِ الَّتِي خُلِقْتُمْ لَهَا، وَخُلِقَتْ لَكُمْ، فَفِيهَا أَنَّ مُدَّةَ هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ، مُؤَقَّتَةٌ عَارِضَةٌ، لَيْسَتْ مَسْكَنًا حَقِيقِيًّا وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مَعْبَرٌ يَتَزَوَّدُ مِنْهَا لِتِلْكَ الدَّارِ وَلَا تُعْمَرُ لِلِاسْتِقْرَارِ.

Then He mentioned the end of the descent to the earth, saying: 'And for you on the earth is a place of settlement,' meaning a dwelling and a place of stability, 'and enjoyment for a time,' until your appointed terms expire. You will then move from it to the abode for which you were created and which was created for you. This indicates that the duration of this life is temporary and transient; it is not a true home but a passage from which one takes provisions for that final abode, not a place to be built up for permanent residence.
