(20:120) But Satan seduced him,[99] saying: “Adam! Shall I direct you to a tree of eternal life and an abiding kingdom?”[100]

Ala-Maududi

(20:120) But Satan seduced him,[99] saying: “Adam! Shall I direct you to a tree of eternal life and an abiding kingdom?”[100]

99. According to this verse, it was Adam whom Satan primarily wanted to seduce and not Eve. Though according to (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 20), he tempted both of them and both were seduced, but Satan’s efforts were mainly directed to Adam. On the contrary, according to the Bible, the serpent first tempted the woman to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree and then she seduced her husband. (Genesis, 3).

100. According to this verse, Satan tempted Adam to eat the fruit of the tree so that he might get eternal life and everlasting kingdom, and according to (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 20), he put an additional temptation in their way, saying that they would become angels and immortal.
