Hasan bin Yazid Asam, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I heard Sudi, may Allah have mercy on him, explaining this blessed verse:“Then Adam received from his Lord words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.”Sudi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Adam (peace be upon him) said:“O Lord! You created me with Your own hand, and You breathed into me from Your spirit, and Your mercy has preceded Your wrath. If I repent and reform myself, will You return me to Paradise?”It was said:“Yes.”
