تفسير : (he said: go down (from hence)) from paradise, (one of you a foe unto the other) meaning: adam, eve, the serpent and the peacock. (there will be for you on earth a habitation) a dwelling and shelter (and provision for a while) until death.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : said he, ‘go down, that is, adam and eve, with all those you comprise of your seed, each of you, each seed, an enemy to the other, on account of the wrong each does to the another. there will be for you on earth an abode, a place of settlement, and enjoyment for a while’, [until] your terms [of life] are fulfilled.
