When Iblis refused to prostrate to Adam (peace be upon him), Allah (Mighty and Majestic) expelled him from Paradise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi : The questioner says: When Iblis refused to prostrate, Allah expelled him from Paradise and forbade it to him, while Adam remained in Paradise; so how was Iblis able to whisper to Adam and Eve? And are there any texts explaining that? And may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : The Shaykh says: How is this question? It is a question from a follower of the later generations, not a follower of the Salaf; because we always tell you, forever and ever, that asking about hidden matters is not permissible. And the questioner, naturally, feels with me that there is no verse, nor even a hadith, in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to us how Satan was able to whisper to Adam (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, we believe that Satan whispered by the text of the Qur'an, but as for the manner, we fear to say: asking about it is a religious innovation; expel the man, for he is an innovator.
