حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
إِنَّ آدَمَ ﷺ لَمَّا أَهْبَطَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى الْأَرْضِ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لا تَعْلَمُونَ قَالُوا: رَبَّنَا، نَحْنُ أَطْوَعُ لَكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ: هَلُمُّوا مَلَكَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ حَتَّى يُهْبَطَ بِهِمَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ يَعْمَلَانِ ؟ قَالُوا: رَبَّنَا، هَارُوتُ وَمَارُوتُ فَأُهْبِطَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَمُثِّلَتْ لَهُمَا الزُّهَرَةُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْبَشَرِ فَجَاءَتْهُمَا، فَسَأَلَاهَا نَفْسَهَا فَقَالَتْ: لَا وَاللهِ حَتَّى تَكَلَّمَا بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الْإِشْرَاكِ، فَقَالَا: وَاللهِ لَا نُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ أَبَدًا. فَذَهَبَتْ عَنْهُمَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ بِصَبِيٍّ تَحْمِلُهُ فَسَأَلَاهَا نَفْسَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: لَا وَاللهِ حَتَّى تَقْتُلَا هَذَا الصَّبِيَّ، فَقَالَا: وَاللهِ لَا نَقْتُلُهُ أَبَدًا. فَذَهَبَتْ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ بِقَدَحِ خَمْرٍ تَحْمِلُهُ، فَسَأَلَاهَا نَفْسَهَا قَالَتْ: لَا وَاللهِ حَتَّى تَشْرَبَا هَذَا الْخَمْرَ، فَشَرِبَا فَسَكِرَا فَوَقَعَا عَلَيْهَا وَقَتَلَا الصَّبِيَّ. فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَا قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: وَاللهِ مَا تَرَكْتُمَا شَيْئًا مِمَّا أَبَيْتُمَاهُ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا قَدْ فَعَلْتُمَا حِينَ سَكِرْتُمَا، فَخُيِّرَا بَيْنَ عَذَابِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ فَاخْتَارَا عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا

Chain of narrators

✧ Indeed, when God Almighty sent Adam ﷺ down to the earth, the angels said: "O Lord, will You place therein one who will spread corruption therein and shed blood, while we glorify You with praise and sanctify You?" He said: "Indeed, I know what you do not know." They said: "Our Lord, we are more obedient to You than the children of Adam." God Almighty said to the angels: "Bring two angels from among the angels so that they may be sent down to the earth, and We may see how they act." They said: "Our Lord, Harut and Marut." So they were sent down to the earth, and Venus was made to appear to them as a woman of the most beautiful of humans. She came to them, and they asked her for herself. She said: "No, by God, not until you speak this word of polytheism." They said: "By God, we will never associate anything with God." So she left them. Then she returned carrying a boy, and they asked her for herself. She said: "No, by God, not until you kill this boy." They said: "By God, we will never kill him." So she left. Then she returned carrying a cup of wine, and they asked her for herself. She said: "No, by God, not until you drink this wine." So they drank, became intoxicated, had intercourse with her, and killed the boy. When they sobered up, the woman said: "By God, you did not leave anything of what you had refused me except that you did it when you were intoxicated." So they were given a choice between the punishment of this world and the Hereafter, and they chose the punishment of this world.

machine translationThere is disagreement concerning it on the authority of Nāfiʿ. Mūsā b. Jubayr narrated it from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Mūsā b. ʿUqbah differed from him and narrated it from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, from Kaʿb al-Aḥbār, in the narration of al-Thawrī from Mūsā b. ʿUqbah. Ibrāhīm b. Ṭahmān said, from Mūsā b. ʿUqbah, from Sālim, from his father, from Kaʿb.
