What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "But when He gave them goodly things, they ascribed partners to Him in regard to what He gave them"? And is the report of Ibn 'Abbas that this was revealed concerning Adam and Eve authentic?

The questioner : The questioner asks: What is the correct interpretation, in your opinion, of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ? And is the report narrated by 'Ikrimah from Ibn 'Abbas regarding the fact that the intended meaning is Adam and Eve established?

The Shaykh : The correct view is that the intended meaning of this verse is the descendants of Adam , meaning from this soul, of its kind. until he said, what? The plural form was used to indicate that this is general for all the descendants of Adam. We mentioned in our book, Sharh al-Tawhid, that the report of Ibn 'Abbas is not authentic. And we mentioned therein, as I recall now, eight points regarding the invalidity of this report. And it is not possible that Adam and Eve are intended by it, because if Adam and Eve were intended, this would be shirk (associating partners with Allah). And the prophets are protected from shirk. And this would have been more fitting for Adam to use as an excuse if intercession were sought from him, whereas he excuses himself with what? With his eating from the tree. In any case, whoever wants to refer to it should refer to it in our aforementioned book.
After the prayer, there are questions, if Allah wills.
