How did Iblis enter Paradise and whisper to Adam (peace be upon him)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The exegetes differed regarding how Satan whispered to Adam and Eve. Some said that he misguided them verbally, citing the Almighty's words: "And he swore to them both, 'Indeed, I am to you both among the sincere advisors.'" Others said that he appeared to them in a physical form or cast the whisper to them. They also differed on how he whispered to them after being expelled. It was said that he was prevented from entering as a matter of honor, but not prevented as a matter of humiliation, or that he stood by the gate and called out to them, or that he entered the mouth of the serpent.
