[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "When Allah commanded Adam to descend to the earth, the angels said, 'Will You place upon it one who causes corruption and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?' Allah said, 'Indeed, I know that which you do not know.'" They said, 'Our Lord, we declare our obedience to You and fear You more than the children of Adam.' Allah said, 'Descend, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling place and provision for a specified time.' He said, 'Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.' He appointed for each of them a male and a female, and said, 'Enter them and dwell in Paradise, and do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.' But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that in which they had been. And We said, 'Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time.' 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."

ذِكْرُ قَوْلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوطِ آدَمَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ: {أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مِنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ}

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "When Adam descended upon the Earth, the angels said to him, 'O Lord, will You place therein those who will cause corruption and shed blood, while we exalt You with praise and sanctify You?' Allah replied, 'Indeed, I know that which you do not know.' They said, 'Our Lord, we are obedient to You more than the children of Adam.' Allah said to His angels, 'Come, let me show you two angels and observe how they behave.' They said, 'Our Lord, Harut and Marut.' Allah said, 'Then descend to the Earth and see what they do.' The Zahrāh (an attractive woman) was presented to them, and they both approached her and desired her. She refused until they uttered a word of disbelief. They swore by Allah that they would never commit shirk. The Zahrāh then left them. She returned carrying a child, and they asked her the same question again. She refused until they agreed to kill the child. They also asked her the same question after she brought them a cup of wine, and she refused until they drank it. This caused them to become intoxicated, and they killed the child. When they awakened, the woman said, 'By Allah, you have not left anything sinful without committing it when you were intoxicated.' At that moment, they were given the choice between the punishment of the worldly life and the punishment of the hereafter, and they chose the punishment of the worldly life."

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "When Allah sent down Adam to the earth, the angels said, 'Will You place therein one who will cause corruption therein and shed blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?' Allah said, 'I know that which you do not know.' They said, 'Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise.' Allah said, 'O Adam, inform them of their names.' And when he had informed them of their names, He said, 'Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed.' And [mention] when We said to the angels, 'Prostrate before Adam'; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers. And We said, 'O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.' But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, 'Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time.' 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. We said, 'Descend from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - those will be companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.' O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant [upon you] that I will fulfill your covenant [from Me], and be afraid of [only] Me. And believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And do not exchange My signs for a small price, and fear [only] Me. And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it]. And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience]. Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?"

"إِنَّ آدَمَ علَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَمَّا أهْبَطَهُ اللَّهُ إِلى الأرْض قَالَتْ الملائِكَةُ: أَىْ ربِّ {أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ" قالوا: ربّنا نحْنُ أطوعُ لَكَ مِن بنى آدم. قَال اللَّهُ تعالَى لِلملاِئكَةِ: هَلُمُّوا ملَكَيْنِ مِنَ الملَائكَةِ حَتَّى نُهْبطَهُمَا إِلى الأرْضِ فَتَنْظُرُوا كيْفَ يَعْمَلان؟ قَالوا: ربَّنا هَارُوتَ وَمَاروت، فَأُهْبطا إِلى الأرْضِ، وَمُثَّلَتْ لَهُما الزَّهْرَاءُ امْرَأةً مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْبَشَرِ فَجَاءَتْهُمَا فَسألاها نفْسها. قَالَت لا واللَّه حتى تَكَلَّمَا بهذه الكلمة حتى الإشراك: فقالا: لا واللَّهِ لَا نُشْرِكُ باللَّه شَيْئًا أبدًا، فَذَهبتْ عنْهُمَا ثُمَّ رجعتْ بِصبِىٍّ تحْمِلُهُ، فَسألَاهَا نفْسها فَقَالَتْ: لا واللَّهِ حتًّى تَقْتُلَا هَذَا الصبِىَّ قَالا: لا واللَّهِ لا نَقْتُلُهُ أبدًا. فَذَهبتْ ثُمَّ رجعتْ بِقَدح خَمْر تحْمِلهُ، فَسألاها نفسها، فقالت: لا حتَّى تَشْرَبَا هَذَا الخَمْر، فَشَربا حتَّى سكرا، فَوَقَعَا علَيْها، وقَتلَا الصَّبى فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَا قَالَتْ المْرأَةُ: واللَّهِ مَا تركتُما شَيْئًا مِمَّا تركتُمَاهُ إِلَّا فَعلتُماهُ حِينَ سكِرْتُمَا، فَخُيِّرا بيْنَ عذَاب الدُّنْيا، والآخِرةِ، فَاخْتَارا عذَاب الدنيا".
