[We offered the Trust] the verse. The interpretation of al-Kalbi is: He offered worship to the heavens, the earth, and the mountains so that they might take it with whatever is in it. Then, what is in it? It was said: If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do evil, you will be punished. [But they refused to undertake it], and He offered it to man, and man is Adam, so he accepted it.

Yahya, from Abu al-Ashhab, from al-Hasan, that he recited this verse: [We offered the Trust] up to His saying: (That Allah may punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women and the polytheists).
