We said: "O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression."

And remember We said: "Enter this town, and eat of the plenty therein as ye wish; but enter the gate with humility, in posture and in words, and We shall forgive you your faults and increase (the portion of) those who do good."

Allah sets forth a Parable: a city enjoying security and quiet, abundantly supplied with sustenance from every place: Yet was it ungrateful for the favours of Allah: so Allah made it taste of hunger and terror (in extremes) (closing in on it) like a garment (from every side), because of the (evil) which (its people) wrought.

我说：“阿丹啊！你和你的妻子同住乐园吧！你们俩可以任意吃园里所有丰富的食物，你们俩不要临近这棵树；否则，就要变成不义的人。”

当时，我说：“你们进这城市去，你们可以随意吃其中所有丰富的食物。你们应当鞠躬而进城门，并且说：｀释我重负。＇我将赦宥你们的种种罪过，我要厚报善人。”

真主打一个比喻：一个市镇，原是安全的，安稳的，丰富的给养从各方运来，但镇上的居民辜负真主的恩惠，所以真主因他们的行为而使他们尝试极度的饥荒和恐怖。
