How did Shaitan enter Jannah to deceive Adam Alayhis Salam

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.

Answer

A question arises over how Shaitan entered Paradise to deceive Adam Alayhis Salam and Hawwa Radiallahu Anha when he had already been expelled.

There are many possibilities:

1. He planted a suggestion in their minds from afar known as wawasas or satanic insinuations.
2. As Shaitan is one of the jinns whom Allah has given unusual powers, he assumed the shape of a snake or of something else and thus succeeded in entering Paradise. (Maariful Quran p.176 v.1)
