The Holy Quran 2:36 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

فَأَزَلَّهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ ۖ وَقُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَـٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

Translation

So Shaytaan (Iblees) caused the two of them to be taken out of Jannah, thereby removing them from that in which they were (from the honour and comfort that they were enjoying. He achieved this by tricking the two unsuspecting souls into eating from the tree). We said (to the couple and their unborn progeny), "Go down (to earth) as enemies to each other. On earth you shall have a place to live and a place to gain benefit for a while (for as long as you live).”

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

It is said that when Adam ﵇ and Hawwa began living in Paradise, and Shaytan had been expelled from his place of honour, Shaytan's envy grew still greater. At last, in league with the peacock and the snake, he entered Paradise and by all sorts of wiles so misled and seduced the lady Hawwa that she ate from that tree and gave it to Adam ﵇ to eat as well.
