The Holy Quran 6:98 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ ۗ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَفْقَهُونَ

Translation

It is He Who created you from a single soul (Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام), after which (He places you in) a place where you will stay (for a longer period - Jannah or Jahannam) and a place where you are kept in trust (for a shorter period - the world/the grave). Indeed We have clearly clarified the Aayaat for people who have intelligence (who use their intelligence to ponder and think about Allaah's Aayaat).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, from Adam ﵇. The dwelling places of human beings: “mustaqarr” is a place of staying, which [in the translation] has been called “abode”, and “mustawda'” is the name for a place where something is handed over for safekeeping and kept in trust. That is the lexical meaning. As for determining what each of them refers to, the commentators differ.
