It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jew passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was narrating hadiths to his companions. The Quraysh said to the Jew: O Jew! This man considers himself a prophet. He said: I will ask him about something that only a prophet knows. So he came and sat down, then he said: O Muhammad! From what is man created? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Jew! Man is created from both the man and the woman, from the sperm of the man and the sperm of the woman. The man's sperm is thick, from which bones and muscles are made, and the woman's sperm is thin, from which flesh and blood are made. The Jew said: The people before you also used to say the same.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, the sperm remains in its state for forty days, there is no change in it. When forty days pass, it becomes a clot of congealed blood. Then after forty days, it becomes a lump of flesh. Then after forty days, bones are formed. So when Allah Almighty intends to complete its creation, He sends an angel towards it. The angel responsible for this task says: O my Lord! Is it male or female? Fortunate or unfortunate? Short in stature or tall? Deficient in creation or excessive in creation? Also, its sustenance and death? And is it healthy or sick? So all these things are written down. One of the people said: If all this matter has already been decided, then what is the point of action? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should act, for every person will be directed towards that for which he was created.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If it were not for the Children of Israel, meat would not become putrid and food would not spoil, and if it were not for Lady Hawwa (may Allah have mercy on her), no woman would betray her husband.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), this is the lengthy hadith regarding intercession, in which it is mentioned: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, when the time will become prolonged for the people, they will say to one another: Come, let us go to the father of mankind, so that he may intercede for us before Allah Almighty and He may begin our reckoning. So they will come to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: O Adam! You are the one whom Allah Almighty created with His own hand, settled you in Paradise, and made the angels prostrate to you. So intercede for us before Allah Almighty, so that He may begin our reckoning. He will reply: I am not worthy of this intercession; because of my mistake, I was expelled from Paradise. Today, my own soul has made me restless.

Syedna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates: This is a lengthy hadith regarding intercession, in which it is mentioned: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Then Adam, peace be upon him, will say: Indeed, my Lord is so angry today as He has never been before and will never be so after, and He had forbidden me from a tree, but I disobeyed Him. Alas, myself, myself, myself.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Who was the first prophet among the prophets? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Adam (peace be upon him). I said: O Messenger of Allah! Was Adam (peace be upon him) a prophet? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, he was a prophet, he was spoken to, Allah Almighty created him with His own hand, then breathed His spirit into him and said to him face to face: O Adam.

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best day on which the sun rises is Friday; on it Adam (peace be upon him) was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise, and on it he was expelled from it. In another narration: Allah Almighty sent Adam (peace be upon him) down to the earth on this day and on this day he passed away.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Adam (peace be upon him) and Musa (peace be upon him) argued with each other. Musa (peace be upon him) said: O Adam! You are our father, but you caused us to fail and got us expelled from Paradise. In another narration, it is stated: Are you the same Adam whom his mistake expelled from Paradise? In response, Adam (peace be upon him) said: O Musa! Are you the same Musa whom Allah selected with His Word and His Messengership, and for whom He wrote with His own hand? Do you blame me for something which Allah had written for me forty years before my creation? Thus, Adam (peace be upon him) prevailed over Musa (peace be upon him).

Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) said during the tribulation of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (peace be upon him): I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, soon there will be tribulations; in them, the one sitting will be better than the one standing, the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running.”A man said:“What do you think if the killer enters upon me in my house and extends his hand towards me to kill me?”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Be like the son of Adam.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For every soul that is killed unjustly, the first son of Adam (peace be upon him) receives a share of the sin of that blood, because he was the first person who started killing.
