'So We said' due to that after We had excused him and did not hasten him with punishment: 'O Adam, indeed this' is the devil who has been arrogant towards you 'an enemy to you' always, because the arrogance that arises from envy does not cease 'and to your wife' because she is from you 'so let not the two of you be expelled' meaning do not listen to him in any way so that he expels you, and the prohibition was directed to him, and the intended meaning is: both of you, as a reminder that she has from the greatness [what should be protected from being directed to her a prohibition, and he attributed the expulsion to him for the increase of warning and conveying in repulsion, and he added -] in the reminder by saying: 'from Paradise' meaning indeed he will not be lacking in harming you both and intending to bring you down from it. And when He, glorified and exalted is He, specified her partnership with Him in the expulsion, it became known her partnership with Him in its effects. And the woman is a follower of the man, so he was the one specifically responsible in this abode for all the toil and effort, and the defense and the care, and most of his toil was in the matter of the woman. He singled out the warning from the toil for that reason and counted her toil in relation to his toil as nothing, and he made it known that her matter is in his hands. If he is steadfast, he will lead her to good, otherwise she will lead him to harm. And he expressed toil with hardship for the sake of increasing the warning from it, so he said: 'so you will toil' meaning you will become tired, and he did not intend the hardship of the Hereafter, because if he had intended it, he would not have entered Paradise after that, because the implied speech after the 'fa' is news, and news does not change.
