طه : ١١٥

  • وَلَقَدۡ And verily
  • عَهِدۡنَآ We made a covenant
  • إِلَىٰٓ with
  • ءَادَمَ Adam
  • مِن before
  • قَبۡلُ before
  • فَنَسِيَ but he forgot
  • وَلَمۡ and not
  • نَجِدۡ We found
  • لَهُۥ in him
  • عَزۡمٗا determination
And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.1

And We made a covenant with Adam, We enjoined him not to eat of the tree, before, that is, before he ate of it, but he forgot, he disregarded Our covenant, and We did not find in him any constancy, any resoluteness or patience in [abiding by] what We forbade him from.
