The Holy Quran 20:123 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

قَالَ ٱهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًۢا ۖ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ

Translation

Allaah said, "The two of you (Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام and Hawwa) should go down from here (Jannah) and you (your progeny) will be enemies (of varying degrees) to each other. When there come to you (O mankind) guidance from Me (Rasulullaah ﷺ and the Qur'aan), then whoever will follow My guidance shall never go astray (in the world), nor shall he be unfortunate (in the Aakhirah)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The command to leave Paradise: if this address is only to Adam and Hawwa (Eve), then what is meant is that their descendants will remain enemies to one another. Just as they had sinned in companionship, the recompense for that companionship was that their descendants became enemies of one another.
