Question:
Regarding the verse of Allah the Exalted, from[Al-A'raf 7:189] to the verse of Allah the Exalted, "But when He gave them a goodly son, they ascribed partners to Him in regard to what He had given them," what is the intended meaning? Who was it revealed about? And is there an authentic hadith regarding this?
Answer:
Yes, the verse was revealed concerning Adam and Eve and the action of Satan with them. You know that Satan is…
…an enemy to the parents, Adam and Eve, and that he made the eating from the tree attractive to them until they repented and Allah accepted their repentance. And he continues to try with them and their descendants until the Day of Resurrection. May Allah kill him.
Part of this is that Eve used to become pregnant, and then her child would die. Every time she became pregnant, her child would die or be born incomplete. Satan came and said to her, "Name him 'Abd al-Harith so that he will be safe, otherwise I will kill him."
Out of a mother's compassion for her child, she named him 'Abd al-Harith. Adam and Eve named him 'Abd al-Harith so that he would be safe. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) in obedience, not shirk in worship. They call this shirk of obedience, not shirk of worship. So Adam and Eve did not commit shirk in worship. Rather, they only obeyed Satan in this matter. So it was called shirk. It is shirk of obedience, not shirk of worship. Yes. So Allah reproached them for that.
Regarding the verse of Allah the Exalted, from
who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her
الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّاهَاAnswer:
