Then Adam received with acceptance words, which Allah inspired to him as repentance and seeking forgiveness, and they are His words, the Exalted: {Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers (7:23)} so Allah turned to him in forgiveness, and forgave him his sin; indeed, He, the Exalted, is the One who accepts repentance for whoever repents among His servants, the Most Merciful to them.
