Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Shaytan's Deceit with Adam and Hawwa' and Their eating from the Forbidden TreeAllah states that He allowed Adam and his wife to dwell in Paradise and to eat from all of its fruits, except one tree. We have already discussed this in Surat Al-Baqarah. Thus, Shaytan envied them and plotted deceitfully, whispering and suggesting treachery. He wished to rid them of the various favors and nice clothes that they were enjoying.
