assalamalaikum, question on hadith in sahih muslim book 8 # 3472 and in Sahih Bukhari in volume 7 book 62#30 Can u please explain this hadiths? jazakallah.

The correct translation of the aforementioned Hadith of Sahih Muslim is, 'Had it not been for Eve, women would not be a deception to their husbands.'

The learned scholars of Hadith have explained this Hadith to be a reference to what had transpired in Jannah when Adam (Alayhis salaam) and Hawa (Alayhas salaam) were prohibited from partaking of a certain tree therein. However, Shaytaan (who had just taken an oath that he would mislead man) deceived Hawa (Alayhis salaam) into eating from that very tree, and she in turn convinced Aadam (Alayhis salaam) as well into the same. Hence, this became the means of them both being taken out of Jannah.

As understood from this, Hadhrat Hawa (Alayhis salaam) was the means of the mistake of Aadam (Alayhis salaam) and due to that all the women of the world being her children, the same quality is found in them as well. (Sharh an-Nawawiy vol.1 pg.223 and Sharh-ul-lubby vol.5 pg.180)
