وَرَوَى الْحَافِظُ ابْنُ عَسَاكِرَ, عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: أَمَرَ اللَّهُ مَلَكَيْنِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَا آدَمَ وَحَوَّاءَ مِنْ جِوَارِهِ, فَنَزَعَ جِبْرِيلُ التَّاجَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ, وَحَلَّ مِيكَائِيلُ الْإِكْلِيلَ عَنْ جَبِينِهِ, وَتَعَلَّقَ بِهِ غُصْنٌ فَظَنَّ آدَمُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ عُوجِلَ بِالْعُقُوبَةِ فَنَكَّسَ رَأْسَهُ يَقُولُ: الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ, فَقَالَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ: فِرَارًا مِنِّي يَا آدَمُ: قَالَ: بَلْ حَيَاءً مِنْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي. وَقَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ, عَنْ حَسَّانَ هُوَ ابْنُ عَطِيَّةَ: مَكَثَ آدَمُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ عَامٍ, وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ سِتِّينَ عَامًا, وَبَكَى عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ سَبْعِينَ عَامًا, وَعَلَى خَطِيئَتِهِ سَبْعِينَ عَامًا, وَعَلَى وَلَدِهِ حِينَ قُتِلَ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا. رَوَاهُ ابْنُ عَسَاكِرَ.
