How Satan was able to whisper to Adam in Paradise after refusing to prostrate to him, and is there any evidence for this?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When Satan refused to prostrate, Allah expelled him from Paradise and forbade it to him, while Adam remained in Paradise. How was Satan able to whisper to Adam and Eve? And are there any texts explaining this? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : How is this question? This is a question from the later generations, not the earliest generations, because we always tell you, and always, that asking about hidden matters is not permissible. The questioner naturally feels, along with me, that there is no verse, nor any hadith, in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to us how Satan was able to whisper to Adam (peace be upon him). Therefore, we believe that Satan whispered, as stated in the Qur'an, but as for the manner of it, we fear that asking about it is a religious innovation. Expel this man, for he is an innovator.
