  • فَوَسۡوَسَ Then whispered
  • لَهُمَا to both of them
  • ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ the Shaitaan
  • لِيُبۡدِيَ to make apparent
  • لَهُمَا to both of them
  • مَا what
  • وُۥرِيَ was concealed
  • عَنۡهُمَا from both of them
  • مِن of
  • سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَا their shame
  • وَقَالَ And he said
  • مَا (Did) not
  • نَهَىٰكُمَا forbid you both
  • رَبُّكُمَا your Lord
  • عَنۡ from
  • هَٰذِهِ this
  • ٱلشَّجَرَةِ [the] tree
  • إِلَّآ except
  • أَن that
  • تَكُونَا you two become
  • مَلَكَيۡنِ Angels
  • أَوۡ or
  • تَكُونَا you two become
  • مِنَ of
  • ٱلۡخَٰلِدِينَ the immortals
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."
Then Satan, Iblees, whispered to them that he might manifest, reveal, to them that which was hidden (wooriya: based on [the verbal form] foo'ila and [derives] from [the infinitive] al-muwaaraa) to them of their shameful parts. And he said, 'Your Lord prohibited you from this tree only, in aversion, lest you become angels (malakayn may also be read malikayn) or become immortals', in other words, that is the necessary consequence of eating from it, as [is stated] in another verse: Shall I guide you to the Tree of Immortality and a kingdom that does not waste away? [Q. 20:120].
