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 fashioned the form of Adam (peace be upon him), He left him (for a while). Iblis began to circle around him and look at him. When he saw that he was hollow inside, he said: 'I have gained mastery over him; this is a creature that cannot control itself.'" This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When Allah Almighty expelled Adam (peace be upon him) from Paradise, He gave him fruits of Paradise as provision for the journey, and taught him the craft of making everything. So these fruits of yours are also from the fruits of Paradise, except that these (worldly fruits) spoil, while those (the fruits of Paradise) do not spoil."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that some Jews came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about the creation of the heavens and the earth. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty created the earth on Sunday and Monday. On Tuesday He created the mountains and the benefits (useful things) they contain. On Wednesday He created the trees, water, cities, inhabited lands and wastelands. These make four days. So Allah Almighty said: 'Say: Do you indeed disbelieve in the One who created the earth in two days and set up equals to Him? That is the Lord of the worlds. And He placed on it firm mountains above it,' up to His saying: 'in four days, equal for those who ask' [Surah Fussilat: 9-10] . On Thursday He created the heaven, and on Friday He created the stars, the sun, the moon and the angels, until three hours of that (day) remained. In the first of these three hours He appointed the terms of life, when whoever dies will die. In the second hour He cast affliction (decay) upon everything from which people benefit. And in the third hour He created Adam (peace be upon him), settled him in Paradise, commanded Iblis to prostrate to him, and then expelled him from it in the last hour." Then the Jews said: "O Muhammad, then what happened?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then He rose over the Throne." The Jews said: "You would have been right had you completed it: then He rested." The narrator says: At this (insolent remark) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became intensely angry, and this verse was revealed: "And We certainly created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days, and no weariness touched Us. So be patient over what they say" [Surah Qaf: 38-39] . The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty took the covenant from the back of Adam (peace be upon him) at Na'man, that is, at Arafah. He brought forth from his loins all the offspring He was to create, and scattered them before Him like small ants. Then He spoke to them face to face and said: 'Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes, we testify, lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection,' up to His saying: 'for what the falsifiers did.'" [Surah al-A'raf: 172-173] The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Muslim bin Yasar al-Juhani (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this verse: "And when your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants" [Surah al-A'raf: 172] . Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty created Adam (peace be upon him), then He passed His right hand over his back and brought forth from it offspring, and said: 'I have created these for Paradise, and they will do the deeds of the people of Paradise.' Then He passed His hand over his back and brought forth from it other offspring, and said: 'I have created these for the Fire, and they will do the deeds of the people of the Fire.'" A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, then what is the purpose of deeds?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when Allah Almighty creates a servant for Paradise, He employs him in the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies upon one of the deeds of the people of Paradise, and so he enters Paradise. And when He creates a servant for the Fire, He employs him in the deeds of the people of the Fire until he dies upon one of the deeds of the people of the Fire, and so he enters the Fire." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.
