Adam was honored again

Surah Al-Baqara
Sahih International[Ayah:2:35]
And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

Sahih International[Ayah:2:36]
But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."
1.Allah honored Adam by commanding the angels to prostrate before him, so they all complied except for Iblis.

2.Allah then allowed Adam to live and eat wherever and whatever he wished in Paradise.

Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr bin Marduwyah reported Abu Dharr saying,
"I said, `O Messenger of Allah! Was Adam a Prophet' He said(Yes. He was a Prophet and a Messenger to whom Allah spoke directly), meaning 

((O Adam!) Dwell you and your wife in the Paradise.)''  

3.Hawwa' was created before Adam entered Paradise  

The Ayah (2:35) indicates that Hawwa' was created before Adam entered Paradise, as Muhammad bin Ishaq stated. Ibn Ishaq said, "After Allah finished criticizing Iblis, and after teaching Adam the names of everything, He said  

(O Adam! Inform them of their names) until,

(Verily, You are the Knower, the Wise.)
Then Adam fell asleep, as the People of the Book and other scholars

such as Ibn `Abbas have stated,

Allah took one of Adam's left ribs and made flesh grow in its place, while Adam was asleep and unaware. Allah then created Adam's wife, Hawwa', from his rib and made her a woman, so that she could be a comfort for him. When Adam woke up and saw Hawwa' next to him, it was claimed, he said, `My flesh and blood, my wife.' Hence, Adam reclined with Hawwa'. When Allah married Adam to Hawwa' and gave him comfort, Allah said to him directly,

4.("O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Paradise and eat both of you freely with pleasure and delight, of things therein wherever you will, but come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zalimin (wrongdoers).'').''
