PROPHET: ADAM (عليه السلام)

PART: 6

Allah Said:

“I certainly know what you know not”. 

(2:30)

 "I know that the benefit of creating this type of creature outweighs the harm that you mentioned, that which you have no knowledge of.I will create among them Prophets and send Messengers. I will also create among them truthful, martyrs, righteous believers, worshippers, the modest, the pious, the scholars who implement their knowledge, humble people and those who love Allah and follow His Messengers.''

Allah stated the virtue of Adam above the angels, because He taught Adam, rather than them, the names of everything. This occurred after they prostrated to him. This discussion precedes that event here, only to show the importance of his position, and the absence of the angels' knowledge about creating the Khalifah when they asked about it. So Allah informed the angels that He knows what they do not know, and then He mentioned this to show them Adam's superiority over them in knowledge.

Ibn Abbas Said:  

"Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species.''

Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir reported that Asim bin Kulayb narrated from Said bin Mabad that Ibn Abbas was questioned, [And He taught Adam all the names (of everything)] "Did Allah teach him the names of the plate and the pot''

 He Said, 

"Yes, and even the terms for breaking wind!''

Allah taught Adam the names of everything, their proper names, the names of their characteristics, and what they do, just as Ibn `Abbas stated about the terms for passing gas.
