It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty created Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) from the surface of the whole earth, so his offspring came forth in the same proportion: among them some are white and some are black, some are wheat-coloured and some are red, and some are of colours in between. Likewise, among them some are gentle-natured, some are bad and some are pure-natured." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) was a tall man, as though he were a lofty palm tree, with very thick hair on his head. Then when the slip occurred from him, his private parts became visible to him, whereas before that he had not seen them. So he began to run through Paradise and got caught in a tree. He said to it: 'Let me go.' It said: 'I will not let you go.' Then his Lord called out to him: 'O Adam! Are you running away from Me?' He said: 'O my Lord! Indeed, I feel shy before You.'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
