    When the previous Verse "He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth"was recited to himasws and they asked him: 'When did this take place?' TheHoly Imam Hassan Al-Askariasws said: "And when your Lord said to theangels" who were in the earth along with Ibleesla, and the Jinns from the clanof Banu Jaan, and worship had been made easy for them "I am going to placein the earth a Caliph" In your replacement, and will Call you all back up here,and this was very hard for them for their worship, to go back to the heavens,and it was heavy for them.'

    .

    "they said" Our Lord "What! wilt Thou place in it such as shall make mischief

    in it and shed blood" Just like the Banu Jaanused to do who were from theearth, "and we celebrate Thy praise" And we do not say that which is notworthy of Yourazwj Qualities "extol Thy holiness" and keep your earth cleanfrom the people that do say these things. Allahazwj Said "Surely I know whatyou do not know" Iazwj Know the correctness of the creation which willemanate from this replacement of yours, and you do not know that. And Iazwjalso Know that in your midst there is a disbeliever in his hidden self whom youdo not know about' - and he is Ibleesla, the accursed.'

    Then Heazwj Said "And He taught Adam all the names" The names of theProphetsasws of Allahazwj and the names of Muhammadsaww and Aliasws andFatimaasws and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws and the purified from theiraswsProgenyasws and good Shiites of theirsasws and theirasws enemies "thenpresented them"presented Muhammadsaww and Aliasws and the Imamsasws"tothe angels" Meaning theirasws likeness, and theyasws were lights in thedarkness.

    .When Allahazwj had Created Adamas and Made himasws complete, andInformed himasws the names of all things and presented them to the Angels,the personalities of Muhammadsaww and Aliasws and Fatimaasws and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws appeared to Adamas, and theyasws used to belights twinkling in the horizons of the Heavens and the Veils and the Chair andthe Throne. Allahazwj Ordered the Angels to prostrate to Adamas theprostration of reverence to himasws, because Heazwj had Granted himaswsthe highness by placing these five lightsasws who have lightened up thehorizons, to be in hisasws progeny.'

    .

    They fell in prostration to Adamas, except for Ibleesla who refused to humblehimselfla to the Majesty and Greatness of Allahazwj and to humble himselfla toourasws lights, of the People of the Householdasws. He la played coy with the allthe Angels and became arrogant, and considered himself la higher, as he used

    to be among them, and due to this arrogance became one of the unbelievers.'

    When Ibleesla despaired from Adamas, he tried for a second time using thesame tactic of hiding inside the mouth of a serpent and approached Eve aswho also thought that it was the serpent that was talking to herasws. Ibleeslasaid: 'Do youasws see this tree which Allah the Almighty had Forbidden youaswsfrom? Well, Heazwj has made it Permissible for youasws now after its prohibition,and having come to know of yourasws obedience to Himazwj and havingconsidered Hisazwj Order as being Great. And also that the Angels fightagainst those who wish to eat from this tree and dispel all the other animals ofthe Garden away from it. If youasws were to approach this tree, and they do notstop youasws, then you can understand from this that it has been madepermissible for youasws. If youasws were to eat from it before Adamas does, thenyouasws will be a degree above himasws and yourasws orders will be abovehisasws.' Eveas said: 'Let me try this.' Sheasws went near the tree and the Angelswanted to fight against herasws and stop herasws.

    Allahazwj Revealed unto the Angels: 'You are to fight against those who do notpossess any intellect and dispel them, but as for one who goes towards ithaving choice of action and having control, leave that one to his intellect for it

So the Angels refrained fromfrustrating herasws and put away their weapons that they used to fight with.Sheasws thought that since Allahazwj had stopped them from fighting againstherasws this was because it had become permissible after it having beenprohibited.
