Book “Anwar al-wilayah” author ayatollat Kalbakani.
“.. And that Aadam (may peace be on her) when had Allaah honoured him by the prostration of His angels to him and by entering him into paradise. He [Aadam] said to himself :
‘Will Allaah ever create human who is better than me?’
So Allaah knew that which occured in Aadams soul, thus He called to him :
‘O Aadam, rise your head and look at the bottom part of the ‘Arsh [The Throne of Allaah].’So Aadam rose his head and looked at the foot of the Throne – and he found that it was written on it : ‘There is no Lord Worthy of worship except Allaah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allaah, Alee ibn Abi Talib is the prince of the believers, and his wife Faatima is the chief of the women of the world, and Hasan & Husayn are the chiefs of the youth of paradise.’
Thus Aadam asked : ‘O my Lord, who are these people?’
And The Lord The Most Mighty said : ‘These are from your progeny and they are better than you , and better than all My creatures. And if it wasn’t for them ; I would not have created you, and I would have not created paradise nor hell nor the heavens nor the earth.So beware of looking at them with the eye of envy and as such I take you out of My closeness.’
But he looked at them with an eye of envy and he desired to achieve their status.
And as such the devil overcame him until he ate from the forbidden tree, and he [the devil] overcame hawaa [Aadam’s wife] and she looked at Faatima with an eye of jealousy , and she ate from the tree just as Aadam did. And as such Allaah took them out of His paradise and distanced them from His closeness to the earth.’
