It is reported from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Allah Almighty said: "Indeed, We offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it" [Surah al-Ahzab: 72] , Adam (peace be upon him) was told: Do you take it with its conditions, that if you obey I will forgive, and if you disobey I warn you? He said: I have accepted. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Then no more time passed than that between Asr and sunset before that slip occurred from him. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
