paradise and you two may eat whatever you like and do not resort access to this tree, lest you shall
become one amongst the sinfuls”-(Al Baqra-Part: 4)
In Torah this incident has been mentioned in the following manner: “That an angel helped Adam
and Eve don the heavenly garbs and then escorted them to the best of paradise (i.e. Jannatul Firdous) and
there made Adam be seated on the throne of Allah’s successor (i.e. Khaleefatullah).
The Almighty Lords order came:-“You two should stay in paradise, you should eat and drink whatever you
like but should not eat the wheat-seed, do not fall prey to trouble.”
Adam and Eve had been living in paradise; they were pleased with scenes of paradise. One day
the teacher of angles in disguise of a snake got entry into the paradise through peacock and said to Adam
that the tree in the middle of paradise is that of wheat-seed, and anyone who eats it becomes immortal and
that it has a different taste for once then you are not going to forget whole of your life.
Hazrat Adam flatly refused by saying that such a deed shall become to be a cause of Allah’s
displeasure. He at last explained in various modes and made Eve agreeable and brought her to zeal. She
got intoxicated in love of eating a nectar-fruit and Ibleess succeeded in his trick. No sooner did Adam and
Eve taste the seed of wheat the garbs of paradise fell from their bodies. That dress was so fine and
delicate one that even today their signs are there on the nail of hands and foot of the human-race. In a
state of utter shame Adam and Eve kept their body parts covered with fig-leaves. The moment Eve pricked
with her nail the pod of wheat then abruptly it started bleeding which was in course of time changed in
monthly form of menses.
Somebody asked Imam Baqar (R.A.) how many colours ther are for menses of woman. He
replied there are six colours i.e. the colours of Kalima. Hazrat Adam (A.S.) and Eve and whatever offering
there were in their descendency who were ordained to go from heaven to the earth. Allah the Almighty has
said: “The Satan betrayed them and got them out of their abode they were in, and we ordained: you get
down some one being enemy to the other, and you have in earth your stay for a given time” – (Surah Al
Baqrah, Part: 4).
Hazrat Adam was enabled to descend in the hills of Sirandeep and Hazrat Eve is caused to be
landed in Jedda (Khaazin) with blessings of Hazrat Adam ouspicious smell is created in the trees of the
earth (Roohul Bayan).
After decending upon earth Hazrat Adam (A.S.), did not raise his head towards sky due to
shame. Hazrat Daud (A.S.) is though excessively crying, who has tears in excess of the tears of the
dwellers of earth totally, but Hazrat Adam ( A.S. ) wept to such an a extent that his tears have surpassed
the tears of Hazart Daud and the rest of the dwellers of earth taken jointly ( Khaazin). No sooner the lover
and the beloved were segregated the pange of love on both side of inflamed, both turned restless. They
had been wondering in search of each other and offering repentance (Tauba) and seeking forgiveness of
the master. A seperation of the two persisted for three hundred years. As per a tradition leading to tye main
cource by Hazrat Ali may Allah dignify his face when the wrath befell on Hazrat Adam, he is stunned with
worry and repentence. In state of such peaplexity he recalled that at the time incarnation, I had raised my
eyes towards the sky where the inscription was written as “La Ilaaha Illullah, Muhammedur Rasoolullah”
and then I had gathered that the no one does enjoy a place before the divine court as it is available with
the Mohammed, peace be upon him, in so much so that Allah has got his name written along with his own
on the sky. Therefore, praying in this vein, he enjoined with “Rabbana Zalamna” (Al Ayat). I Seek through
Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) that you grant me pardon (Narrated by:- Tebrani and Behaqui)
