So they both ate of it, and their nakedness became evident to them, and they began to stitch over themselves with the leaves of paradise. Adam disobeyed his Lord, and went amiss.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Ta Ha – Verse 120 - 121
120. “Then Satan whispered (evil suggestions) to him, saying: ‘O Adam! Shall I guide you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?”

When Adam and Eve saw that event, they immediately made clothes for themselves out of the leaves of the trees of Heaven to cover the shameful parts of their bodies. The verse continues saying:
Yes, at last, Adam disobeyed his Lord and was deprived from His reward. The verse says:
