PROPHET: ADAM (عليه السلام)

PART: 8

CREATION OF ADAM

Abi Musa al Sha'arai narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Allah ﷻ created Adam from a handful of dust taken from different lands, so the children of Adam have been created according to the composition of the land. Therefore from mankind we have white,

red, black and yellow ones; we have good and evil, ease and sorrow, and what comes in between them." 

(Sahih al Bukhari) 

Ibn Masud and other companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Said that Allah ﷻ the Almighty sent Gabriel onto the earth to said that Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel onto the earth to get Him clay therefrom. 

The earth Said: 

"I seek refuge in Allah from your decreasing my quantity or disfiguring me." So Gabriel returned and did not take anything. 

He said: 

"My Lord, the land sought refuge in You and it was granted."

So Allah sent Michael for the same purpose, and the land sought refuge with Allah and it was granted. So he went back and said to Allah what Gabriel has said before him. Then Allah sent the Angel of Death, and the land sought refuge in Allah, the Angels Said : 

"I also seek refuge with Allah from returning without carrying out His command." So he took clay from the face of the earth

and mixed it. He did not take from one particular place, but rather he took white, red, and black clay from different places.

The Angel of Death ascended with it, Allah soaked the clay till it became sticky. 

Then Allah said to the Angel's:

"Truly, I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him

(his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him." 

(Chapter 38:71-72 Quran).

So Allah shaped Adam into a human being, but he remained a figure of clay for fourty years. The angels went past him. They were seized with fear by what they saw, and Iblis felt fear most. He used to pass by the figure of Adam, buffeting it, which would make a sound like pottery. 

Allah told US:

"He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery." 

(Chapter 55:Quran).

When the time drew near to breathe the spirit into Adam, as Allah decreed, He commanded the Angel's: "When I breathe My spirit into him prostrate before him." Allah breathed His spirit into Adam and when it reached his head Adam sneezed. 

The Angel's Said: 

"Say all praise belongs to Allah." 

Adam repeated:

 "All Praise belongs to Allah." 

Allah Said to him: 

"Your Lord has granted you mercy."

 When the spirit reached his eyes, Adam looked at the fruits of Paradise. When it reached his abdomen Adam felt an appetite for food. He jumped hurriedly before the spirit could reach his legs, so that he could eat from the fruits of Paradise.

Allah, therefore, Said:

"Man is created of haste." 

(Chapter 21:37 Quran).
