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."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ آدَمَ لَمَّا أُهْبِطَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَيْ رَبِّ {أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مِنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ} قَالُوا رَبَّنَا نَحْنُ أَطْوَعُ لَكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ قَالَ اللَّهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ هَلُمُّوا مَلَكَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ يَعْمَلَانِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا هَارُوتُ وَمَارُوتُ قَالَ فَاهْبِطَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ قَالَ فَمُثِّلَتْ لَهُمُ الزَّهْرَةُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْبَشَرِ فَجَاءَاهَا فَسَأَلَاهَا نَفْسَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى تَكَلَّمَا بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الْإِشْرَاكِ قَالَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ أَبَدًا فَذَهَبَتْ عَنْهُمَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ بِصَبِيٍّ تَحْمِلُهُ فَسَأَلَاهَا نَفْسَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى تَقْتُلَا هَذَا الصَّبِيَّ فَقَالَا لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نَقْتُلُهُ أَبَدًا فَذَهَبَتْ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ خَمْرٍ تَحْمِلُهُ فَسَأَلَاهَا نَفْسَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى تَشْرَبَا هَذَا الْخَمْرَ فَشَرِبَا فَسَكِرَا فَوَقَعَا عَلَيْهَا وَقَتَلَا الصَّبِيَّ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَا قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَاللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُمَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَثِيمًا إِلَّا فَعَلْتُمَاهُ حِينَ سَكِرْتُمَا فَخُيِّرَا عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ عَذَابِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ فَاخْتَارَا عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا»
