The Holy Quran 2:37 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ كَلِمَـٰتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Translation

So Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام received (learnt) a few words from his Rabb (teaching him how to ask for forgiveness) and (when he recited them) Allaah pardoned him (the words were O our Rabb, we have oppressed our souls and if You do not forgive us and show mercy to us, we will surely be among the losers"). Without doubt, He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

فتلقى آدمُ بالقبول كلماتٍ، ألهمه الله إياها توبة واستغفارًا، وهي قوله تعالى: {رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ} فتاب الله عليه، وغفر له ذنبه إنه تعالى هو التواب لمن تاب مِن عباده، الرحيم بهم.
