"إِنَّ آدَمَ علَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَمَّا أهْبَطَهُ اللَّهُ إِلى الأرْض قَالَتْ الملائِكَةُ: أَىْ ربِّ {أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ" قالوا: ربّنا نحْنُ أطوعُ لَكَ مِن بنى آدم. قَال اللَّهُ تعالَى لِلملاِئكَةِ: هَلُمُّوا ملَكَيْنِ مِنَ الملَائكَةِ حَتَّى نُهْبطَهُمَا إِلى الأرْضِ فَتَنْظُرُوا كيْفَ يَعْمَلان؟ قَالوا: ربَّنا هَارُوتَ وَمَاروت، فَأُهْبطا إِلى الأرْضِ، وَمُثَّلَتْ لَهُما الزَّهْرَاءُ امْرَأةً مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْبَشَرِ فَجَاءَتْهُمَا فَسألاها نفْسها. قَالَت لا واللَّه حتى تَكَلَّمَا بهذه الكلمة حتى الإشراك: فقالا: لا واللَّهِ لَا نُشْرِكُ باللَّه شَيْئًا أبدًا، فَذَهبتْ عنْهُمَا ثُمَّ رجعتْ بِصبِىٍّ تحْمِلُهُ، فَسألَاهَا نفْسها فَقَالَتْ: لا واللَّهِ حتًّى تَقْتُلَا هَذَا الصبِىَّ قَالا: لا واللَّهِ لا نَقْتُلُهُ أبدًا. فَذَهبتْ ثُمَّ رجعتْ بِقَدح خَمْر تحْمِلهُ، فَسألاها نفسها، فقالت: لا حتَّى تَشْرَبَا هَذَا الخَمْر، فَشَربا حتَّى سكرا، فَوَقَعَا علَيْها، وقَتلَا الصَّبى فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَا قَالَتْ المْرأَةُ: واللَّهِ مَا تركتُما شَيْئًا مِمَّا تركتُمَاهُ إِلَّا فَعلتُماهُ حِينَ سكِرْتُمَا، فَخُيِّرا بيْنَ عذَاب الدُّنْيا، والآخِرةِ، فَاخْتَارا عذَاب الدنيا".

"Indeed when Allah sent Adam, peace be upon him, down to the earth, the angels said: {Will You place in it one who will cause corruption therein and shed blood, while we exalt You with praise and sanctify You?} He said: {Indeed, I know that which you do not know.} They said: 'Our Lord, we are more obedient to You than the children of Adam.' Allah the Exalted said to the angels: 'Bring two angels from among the angels, and we will send them down to the earth, and you will see how they act.' They said: 'Our Lord, Harut and Marut.' So they were sent down to the earth, and al-Zahra' was made to appear to them as a woman of the most beautiful of humankind. She came to them and they asked her to yield herself to them. She said: 'No, by Allah, not until you utter this word,' meaning idolatry. They said: 'No, by Allah, we will never associate anything with Allah, ever.' She left them, then returned with a child she was carrying, and they asked her to yield herself. She said: 'No, by Allah, not until you kill this child.' They said: 'No, by Allah, we will never kill him, ever.' She left, then returned with a cup of wine she was carrying, and they asked her to yield herself. She said: 'No, not until you drink this wine.' So they drank until they were intoxicated, and they fell upon her and killed the child. When they awoke, the woman said: 'By Allah, you have left nothing you forbade yourselves except that you did it when you were intoxicated.' So they were given the choice between the punishment of this world and the punishment of the Hereafter, and they chose the punishment of this world."
