When Iblis refused to prostrate, Allah expelled him from Paradise and forbade it to him, while Adam remained in Paradise. How was Iblis able to whisper to him?

The questioner : I say: When Iblis refused to prostrate, Allah expelled him from Paradise and forbade it to him, while Adam remained in Paradise. How was Iblis able to whisper to Adam and Eve? These texts clarify this. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : This question is a question from a follower of the later generations, not a follower of the earliest generations, because we always and forever say that asking about hidden matters is not permissible. The questioner naturally feels with me that there is no verse or 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 how, we fear that asking about it is a religious innovation. Expel the man, for he is an innovator.
