Surah Araf ayat 21 Tafsir Quran 7:21

﴿وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ﴾
[ الأعراف: 21]

7:21 And he swore [by Allah] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."

And he swore to both of them that is he swore to both of them by God ‘Truly I am a sincere adviser to you’ in this matter.

He swore to them that he was a sincere advisory having the attribute of advising and offering counsel

Shaytan's Deceit with Adam and Hawwa' and Their eating from the Forbidden Tree Allah states that He allowed Adam and his wife to dwell in Paradise and to eat from all of its fruits, except one tree.
We have already discussed this in Surat Al-Baqarah.
Thus, Shaytan envied them and plotted deceitfully, whispering and suggesting treachery.
He wished to rid them of the various favors and nice clothes that they were enjoying. وَقَالَ ( He (Shaytan ) said) uttering lies and falsehood, مَا نَهَـكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَـذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلاَ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ ( "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels..." ) meaning, so that you do not become angels or dwell here for eternity.
Surely, if you eat from this tree, you will attain both, he said.
In another Ayah, قَالَ يـَادَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لاَّ يَبْلَى ( Shaytan whispered to him, saying: "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away" ) 20:120.
Here, the wording is similar, so it means, `so that you do not become angels' as in; يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ أَن تَضِلُّواْ ( (Thus ) does Allah make clear to you ( His Law ) lest you go astray.
) 4:176 meaning, so that you do not go astray, and, وَأَلْقَى فِى الاٌّرْضِ رَوَاسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ ( And He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; ) 16:15 that is, so that the earth does not shake with you. وَقَاسَمَهُمَآ ( And he Qasamahuma ), swore to them both by Allah, saying, إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّـصِحِينَ ( "Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both." ) for I was here before you and thus have better knowledge of this place.
It is a fact that the believer in Allah might sometimes become the victim of deceit.
Qatadah commented on this Ayah, "Shaytan swore by Allah, saying, `I was created before you, and I have better knowledge than you.
Therefore, follow me and I will direct you."'

( And he swore unto them (saying ): Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you) in my oath that this is the tree of immortality.

And he [Shaitan (Satan)] swore by Allah to them both (saying): "Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both."
