فَقُلْنَا يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَىٰٓ Qur’an Ta-Ha (20:117)
Faquln a y a a damu inna h atha AAaduwwun laka walizawjika fal a yukhrijannakum a mina aljannati fatashq a
and thereupon We said: "O Adam! Verily, this is a foe unto thee and thy wife: so let him not drive the two of you out of this garden and renderthee unhappy.104
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "so that thou wilt become unhappy". Regarding the significance of "the garden spoken of here, see surah {2}, note [27].

Then We said: "O Adam! This Shaitan is a real enemy to you and to your wife. Do not let him get you both out of Paradise and get you in trouble.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So We cautioned, 'O Adam! This is surely an enemy to you and to your wife. So do not let him drive you both out of Paradise, for you 'O Adam' would then suffer 'hardship'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Therefor We said: O Adam! This is an enemy unto thee and unto thy wife, so let him not drive you both out of the Garden so that thou come to toil.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

Then We said: "O Adam! verily this is an enemy to thee and thy wife: so let him not get you both out of the Garden so that thou art landed in misery. 2641
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

See last note. The story is referred to in order to draw attention to man's folly in rushing into the arms of satan though he had been clearly forewarned.
