وَيَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ Qur’an Al-A'raf (7:19)
Way a a damu oskun anta wazawjuka aljannata fakul a min h aythu shitum a wal a taqrab a h ath ihi a l shshajarata fatakoon a mina a l thth a limeen a
And [as for thee], O Adam, dwell thou and thy wife in this garden, and eat, both of you, whatever you may wish; but do not approach this one tree, lest you become evildoers!"13
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

See 2:35 and 20:120 , as well as the corresponding notes.

Allah said: "O Adam! Dwell with your wife in paradise and eat any fruit you please; but never approach this tree or you shall both become wrongdoers."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'Allah said,' 'O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat from wherever you please, but do not approach this tree, or else you will be wrongdoers.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
And (unto man): O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden and eat from whence ye will, but come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrong-doers.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the garden and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: but approach not this tree or ye run into harm and transgression." 1003 1004
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Now the story turns to man. He was placed in the Garden of comfort and bliss, but it was Allah's Plan to give him a limited faculty of choice. All that he was forbidden to do was to approach the Tree, but he succumbed to Satan's suggestions.

Enjoy: literally, "eat." Cf. the meaning of ta'ama in vi, 14, n. 847 and akala in v. 66, n. 776.
