7.19-20-21-22

وَ یٰۤاٰدَمُ اسْكُنْ اَنْتَ وَ زَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَیْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَ لَا تَقْرَبَا هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُوْنَا مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(19) فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّیْطٰنُ لِیُبْدِیَ لَهُمَا مَاوٗرِیَ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ سَوْاٰتِهِمَا وَ قَالَ مَا نَهٰىكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَكُوْنَا مَلَكَیْنِ اَوْ تَكُوْنَا مِنَ الْخٰلِدِیْنَ(20) وَ قَاسَمَهُمَاۤ اِنِّیْ لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النّٰصِحِیْنَۙ (21) فَدَلّٰىهُمَا بِغُرُوْرٍۚ-فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْاٰتُهُمَا وَ طَفِقَا یَخْصِفٰنِ عَلَیْهِمَا مِنْ وَّرَقِ الْجَنَّةِؕ-وَ نَادٰىهُمَا رَبُّهُمَاۤ اَلَمْ اَنْهَكُمَا عَنْ تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَ اَقُلْ لَّكُمَاۤ اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ(22)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

“And O Adam! You and your wife, reside in Paradise then eat freely wherever you wish, and do not go near that tree lest you become among those who exceed the limit.” Then Satan whispered to them (in deceit) that he may expose their concealed parts and said, “Your Lord only prevented you from approaching this tree lest both of you become angels or immortals.” And he swore an oath before them, “Indeed I am a sincere adviser to you.” So he brought them down through deceitthen when they tasted (the fruit) of the tree, their concealed parts became exposed to them and they began to place the leaves of Paradise upon themselves. [1] And their Lord said to them, “Did I not forbid you from approaching this tree? And did I not say to you that indeed Satan is your open enemy?”

Commentary

[1]

The fact that Prophet Ādam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام and Sayyidatunā Ḥawwā رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهَا covered themselves with leaves as soon as their original clothing was taken away proves that covering concealed parts is part of natural human disposition. Therefore, those who consider nakedness as natural have corrupted their inherent human dispositions; this is the case in some countries where large groups of people are inclined to this in the name of naturism or nudism.
