1690 - آدَمُ عليه السلام‏

1690. Adam (AS)

(يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِن نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْها زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاً كَثِيراً وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيباً) .1

"O mankind! Be wary of your Lord who created you from a single soul, and created its mate from it, and, from the two of them, scattered numerous men and women. Be wary of Allah, in whose Name you adjure one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is watchful over you." 2

5940.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - في صِفَةِ خَلقِ آدَمَ عليه السلام - : ثُمّ جَمَعَ سبحانَهُ مِن حَزْنِ الأرضِ وسَهْلِها ، وعَذْبِها وسَبَخِها ، تُربَةً سَنَّها (سَنّاها) بالماءِ حتّى‏ خَلَصَت ، ولاطَها بالبَلَّةِ حتّى‏ لَزِبَت ، فَجَبَلَ مِنها صُورَةً ذاتَ أحناءٍ ووُصولٍ ، وأعضاءٍ وفُصولٍ ، أجمَدَها حتَّى استَمسَكَت ، وأصلَدَها حتّى‏ صَلْصَلَت ، لِوَقتٍ مَعدودٍ وأمَدٍ مَعلومٍ . ثُمّ نَفَخَ فيها مِن رُوحهِ فَمَثُلَت (فتَمثّلَت) إنساناً ذا أذهانٍ يُجيلُها وفِكَرٍ يَتَصَرّفُ بها ... مَعجوناً بطِينَةِ الألوانِ المُختَلِفَةِ ، والأشباهِ المُؤتَلِفَةِ ، والأضدادِ المُتَعادِيَةِ ، والأخلاطِ المُتَبايِنَةِ ، مِن الحَرِّ والبَردِ ، والبَلَّةِ والجُمودِ .3

5940. Imam Ali (AS), describing the creation of Adam, said, 'Allah collected the hard, soft, sweet and sour of the earth, [making it into] clay by dipping it into water until it became pure, and then kneaded it with moisture till it became gluey. From it He carved an image with curves, joints, limbs and parts. He solidified it until it dried up, for a fixed time and a known duration. Then, He blew into it out of His Spirit whereupon it took the pattern of a human being with a mind that governs him, intelligence which he makes use of.... a mixture of clay of different colours, cohesive materials, divergent contraries and differing properties like heat and cold, softness and hardness.' 4

5941.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : ... فلَمّا مَهَدَ أرضَهُ ، وأنفَذَ أمرَهُ ، اختارَ آدَمَ عليه السلام خِيَرَةً مِن خَلقِهِ ، وجَعَلَهُ أوّلَ جِبِلَّتِهِ‏5.6

5941.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'When He had prepared the earth and enforced His commands, He chose Adam (AS) as the best of His creation and made him the first of human creation.' 7

5942.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّما سُمِّيَ آدَمُ آدَمَ لأ نّهُ خُلِقَ مِن أديمِ الأرضِ .8

5942.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Adam was named Adam because he was created from the surface (adim) of the earth.' 9

5943.أبو المِقدامِ : سألتُ أباجعفرٍ عليه السلام: مِن أيِّ شي‏ءٍ خَلقَ اللَّهُ حَوّاءَ - : أيَّ شي‏ءٍ يقولُ هذاالخَلقُ؟
قلتُ : يقولونَ : إنّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَها من ضِلعٍ مِن أضلاعِ آدَمَ . فقالَ : كَذَبوا ، كانَ يُعجِزُهُ أن يَخلُقَها مِن غَيرِ ضِلعهِ ؟! فقلتُ : جُعِلتُ فِداكَ يا ابنَ رسولِ اللَّهِ، مِن أيِّ شي‏ءٍ خَلَقَها ؟ فقالَ : أخبَرَني أبي عن آبائهِ : قالَ : قالَ رسولُ اللَّهِ : إنّ اللَّهَ تباركَ وتعالى‏ قَبَضَ قَبضَةً مِن طِينٍ فخَلَطَها بيَمينِهِ - وكِلتا يَدَيهِ يَمينٌ - فخَلَقَ مِنها آدَمَ ، وفَضلََت فَضلَةٌ مِن الطِّينِ فخَلَقَ مِنها حَوّاءَ .10

5943. Abu al-Miqdam said, 'I asked Abu al-Jafar [Imam al-Baqir] (AS), 'What did Allah create Eve from?' He asked, 'What do people say about this?' I said, 'They say that Allah created her from one of the ribs of Adam.' He (AS) said, 'They lie, was He incapable of creating her from something other than his rib.' I said, 'May I be sacrificed for you, O son of the Prophet (SAWA), what did He create her from?' He (AS) said, 'My father told me, informing me from his fathers (AS) that the Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Allah, Blessed and most High, grabbed a handful of clay and mixed it with His right hand - and both His hands are right - and from it He created Adam, and with the rest of the clay He created Eve.' 11

5944.الإمامُ الرِّضا عليه السلام - وقد سألَهُ البَزَنطيُّ عن كيفيَّةِ تَناسُلِ النّاسِ مِن آدمَ - : حَمَلَت حَوّاءُ هابِيلَ واُختاً لَهُ في بَطنٍ ، ثمّ حَمَلَت في البَطنِ الثّاني قابِيلَ واُختاً له في بَطنٍ ، فزُوّجَ هابِيلُ الّتي معَ قابِيلَ ، وتَزوَّجَ قابِيلُ الّتي مَع هابِيلَ ، ثُمّ حَدَثَ التَّحريمُ بعدَ ذلكَ .12

5944. Imam al-Rida (AS) said in reply to al-Bazanti who asked about the offspring of Adam, 'Eve conceived Habil and a sister in one womb, and then Qabil and a sister in another womb. Habil got married with the twin that was with Qabil, and Qabil got married to the one that was with Habil, then after this it became prohibited.' 13
