Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty created His creation, then kept them in darkness, and according to His will, took a portion from His Light and cast it upon them. According to Allah Almighty’s will, that Light reached some individuals and did not reach others. Whoever received that Light on that day was guided, and whoever was deprived of it went astray. That is why I, Abdullah, say: The pen has dried upon what is to happen.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty took a handful from all of the earth and from it created Adam (peace be upon him). That is why the children of Adam were created according to the nature of the earth’s soil: some are white, some are red, some are black, and some have colors in between them; and some are wicked, some are pure in temperament, some are soft, some are hard, and some are in between them.

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Souls are like gathered armies; those who became acquainted with one another, became familiar, and those who did not recognize each other, differed.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty created Adam (peace be upon him) in his form, his height was sixty cubits. When Allah Almighty created him, He said: Go and greet that group of angels sitting there and listen carefully to what they reply to you, for indeed these words will be the greeting for you and your offspring. (He went and) said: As-salamu Alaikum. They replied: As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatullah. That is, they added the words "wa Rahmatullah." Whenever any person enters Paradise, he will enter in the form (and stature) of Adam (peace be upon him). But (from the birth of Adam in this world) until today, the stature has been decreasing.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The height of Adam (peace be upon him) was sixty cubits and his width was seven cubits.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Everything of the son of Adam is consumed by the earth except for the coccyx (ajb al-dhanab); from it he was created and from it he will be reassembled.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty created Adam (peace be upon him), He left (his frame) as He wished for as long as He wished. Iblis began to walk around and observe him. When he saw that he had a belly or that he was hollow from within, he said: This is a creature who will not be able to control himself. That is, this being will not be able to restrain himself from desires, will not remain safe from whispers, nor will he be able to control his anger, except for the one whom Allah protects. How did Iblis realize this? There is no need to get into this discussion; it is not known what the attributes of that era and the abilities and experiences of the creatures of that time were.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Allah Almighty created Adam (peace be upon him) on Friday after Asr (afternoon), he was the last of the creation, who was created in the last hour of the hours of Friday, and the last hour is from Asr until night.
