Verses
فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُورِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْءَاتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَاكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَـذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلاَّ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الْخَالِدِينَ
7:20 Purposely, Shai'taan [Iblees] subtly relayed, for both of them, fascinating inspiration, so that he may cause to become visible, for both of them, that of their bodies which was in hidden condition for each other. [how he relayed the fascinating thought?] he said, " The Sustainer Lord of both of you has not forbidden both of you from this female [fruit bearing] tree except for the reason that you both might not become governors/rulers/sovereigns or that you two might become as immortals/people of permanence" [7:20]
وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ
7:21 And he swore to both of them saying, "Indeed/believe me I am for both of you certainly a sincere advisor." [7:21]
