The Holy Quran 7:19 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

وَيَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Translation

(Allaah said) "O Aadam, you and your wife may live in Jannah. The two of you may eat from wherever you wish, but do not approach this tree, for then (if you eat from it) you will be of the wrong-doers (you will suffer a loss)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Adam ﵇, Hawwa ﵍ and the forbidden tree: Adam and Hawwa were permitted to eat and drink freely whatever they wished, except for one particular tree, the eating of which did not suit their life in Paradise and their capacities; about it they were told: do not go near it, or you will suffer loss.
