Commentary on 7:16
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿فَبِما أغْوَيْتَنِي﴾ في مَعْنى هَذا الإغْواءِ قَوْلانِ.
أحَدُهُما: أنَّهُ بِمَعْنى الإضْلالِ، قالَهُ ابْنُ عَبّاسٍ، والجُمْهُورُ.
والثّانِي: أنَّهُ بِمَعْنى الإهْلاكِ، ومِنهُ قَوْلُهُ: ﴿فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا﴾ [مَرْيَمَ: ٥٩]، أيْ: هَلاكًا، ذَكَرَهُ ابْنُ الأنْبارِيِّ. وفي مَعْنى "فَبِما" قَوْلانِ. (p-١٧٦)أحَدُهُما: أنَّها بِمَعْنى القَسَمِ، أيْ: فَبِإغْوائِكَ لِي.
والثّانِي: أنَّها بِمَعْنى الجَزاءِ، أيْ: فَبِأنَّكَ أغْوَيْتَنِي، ولِأجْلِ أنَّكَ أغْوَيْتَنِي ﴿لأقْعُدَنَّ لَهم صِراطَكَ المُسْتَقِيمَ﴾ . قالَ الفَرّاءُ، والزَّجّاجُ: أيْ عَلى صِراطِكَ. ومِثْلُهُ قَوْلُهُمْ: ضَرَبَ زِيدٌ الظَّهْرَ والبَطْنَ. وفي المُرادِ بِالصِّراطِ هاهُنا ثَلاثَةُ أقْوالٍ.
أحَدُها: أنَّهُ طَرِيقُ مَكَّةَ، قالَهُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، والحَسَنُ، وسَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ؛ كَأنَّ المُرادَ صَدَّهم عَنِ الحَجِّ.
والثّانِي: أنَّهُ الإسْلامُ، قالَهُ جابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وابْنُ الحَنِيفَةِ، ومُقاتِلٌ.
والثّالِثُ: أنَّهُ الحَقُّ، قالَهُ مُجاهِدٌ.

7:12
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسۡجُدَ إِذۡ أَمَرۡتُكَۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِي مِن نَّارٖ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِينٖ ١٢
[Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay [i.e., earth]."
7:13
قَالَ فَٱهۡبِطۡ مِنۡهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَٱخۡرُجۡ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ ١٣
[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise], for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased."
7:14
قَالَ أَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ ١٤
[Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
7:15
قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ ١٥
[Allāh] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."
7:16
قَالَ فَبِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأَقۡعُدَنَّ لَهُمۡ صِرَٰطَكَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ ١٦
[Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them [i.e., mankind] on Your straight path.
7:17
ثُمَّ لَأٓتِيَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَيۡنِ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ وَعَنۡ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمۡۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ شَٰكِرِينَ ١٧
Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."
7:18
قَالَ ٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا مَذۡءُومٗا مَّدۡحُورٗاۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ١٨
[Allāh] said, "Depart from it [i.e., Paradise], reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."
7:19
وَيَٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسۡكُنۡ أَنتَ وَزَوۡجُكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنۡ حَيۡثُ شِئۡتُمَا وَلَا تَقۡرَبَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٩
And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
7:20
فَوَسۡوَسَ لَهُمَا ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِيُبۡدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُۥرِيَ عَنۡهُمَا مِن سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَىٰكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنۡ هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيۡنِ أَوۡ تَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِدِينَ ٢٠
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."
7:21
وَقَاسَمَهُمَآ إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ ٢١
And he swore [by Allāh] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."
7:22
فَدَلَّىٰهُمَا بِغُرُورٖۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا ٱلشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتۡ لَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخۡصِفَانِ عَلَيۡهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ وَنَادَىٰهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ أَلَمۡ أَنۡهَكُمَا عَن تِلۡكُمَا ٱلشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوّٞ مُّبِينٞ ٢٢
So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"
