اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَقَدْ عَهِدْنا إِلى آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَ لَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْماً قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمَّا قَالَ لآِدَمَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا آدَمُ لَا تَقْرَبْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ قَالَ وَ أَرَاهُ إِيَّاهَا فَقَالَ آدَمُ لِرَبِّهِ كَيْفَ أَقْرَبُهَا وَ قَدْ نَهَيْتَنِي عَنْهَا أَنَا وَ زَوْجَتِي قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا لَا تَقْرَبَاهَا يَعْنِي لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهَا فَقَالَ آدَمُ وَ زَوْجَتُهُ نَعَمْ يَا رَبَّنَا لَا نَقْرَبُهَا وَ لَا نَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَ لَمْ يَسْتَثْنِيَا فِي قَوْلِهِمَا نَعَمْ فَوَكَلَهُمَا اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمَا وَ إِلَى ذِكْرِهِمَا قَالَ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي الْكِتَابِ وَ لا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فاعِلٌ ذلِكَ غَداً إِلَّا أَنْ يَشاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ لَا أَفْعَلَهُ فَتَسْبِقَ مَشِيئَةُ اللَّهِ فِي أَنْ لَا أَفْعَلَهُ فَلَا أَقْدِرَ عَلَى أَنْ أَفْعَلَهُ قَالَ فَلِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذا نَسِيتَ أَيْ اسْتَثْنِ مَشِيئَةَ اللَّهِ فِي فِعْلِكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, both together from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ja’far Al Ahowl from Sallam Bin Al Mustaneer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:20#h115"><a href="/books/quran:20#h115">[20:115]</a></a> And We had Given a Covenant to Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find determination in him</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Said to Adam<sup>as</sup>: “Enter the Paradise!”, Said to him<sup>as</sup>: “O Adam<sup>as</sup>! <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:7#h19"><a href="/books/quran:7#h19">[7:19]</a></a> and do not go near this tree</span>, and He<sup>azwj</sup> Meant him<sup>as</sup>. So Adam<sup>as</sup> said to his<sup>as</sup> Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, ‘How can I<sup>as</sup> go near it and You<sup>azwj</sup> have Forbidden me<sup>as</sup> from it, I<sup>as</sup> and my<sup>as</sup> wife’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So He<sup>azwj</sup> said to both of them<sup>as</sup>: “Do not to go near it, Meaning do not eat from it’. So Adam<sup>as</sup> and his<sup>as</sup> wife said: ‘Yes, O our<sup>as</sup> Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, we<sup>as</sup> will not go near it, nor eat from it’, and they<sup>as</sup> did not say: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing’ in both their<sup>as</sup> speeches of ‘Yes’. Thus Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Left them both to themselves, and to their memories’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic had Said to His<sup>azwj</sup> Prophet<sup>saww</sup> in the Book <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:18#h23"><a href="/books/quran:18#h23">[18:23]</a></a> And do not say of anything: I will do it tomorrow <a href="/#/books/quran:18#h24"><a href="/books/quran:18#h24">[18:24]</a></a> Without adding, "If Allah so Desires it”</span>. If you<sup>saww</sup> do not do it, so the Desire of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Precede with regards to it if you<sup>saww</sup> do not do it, not being able upon doing it. Thus, it was due to that, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:18#h24"><a href="/books/quran:18#h24">[18:24]</a></a> and remember your Lord when you forget</span>, i.e., exclude the Desire of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> in your deed’.
