The difference between Adam's sin and Iblis's

Sha'rawi holds that Adam ate from the tree through heedlessness, then confessed and repented, and God accepted his repentance; and that Iblis answered the command with a refusal, which was disbelief ^{2 3}. He answers those who say that sin is inherited and needs a redeemer ¹. See al-A'raf 23 and al-Baqara 37.

He distinguishes an error that is corrected from a sin that is punished. Adam erred and was guided back, sin is not inherited, and one soul does not bear another's burden ¹. See al-An'am 164.

He holds that Adam's sin was of heedlessness and Iblis's of pride against God's command ³. He warns against rejecting the command: one who does not pray should not say prayer is useless, but should affirm that the duty is true and ask for mercy for his weakness ³.

He notes that the reports differ on the words Adam received, and holds that God inspired him with words by which he drew near to God, and that God created humans free to choose, so they err at times and then repent ⁴. See al-Baqara 37.

This is Sha'rawi's reading. The view he rejects is described by him and not quoted from its source, and no comparative study of original sin is set out here. Not yet checked.
