Musnad al-Bazzar 8483

Translation

✧ When God, Blessed and Exalted, created Adam and breathed the spirit into him, he sneezed and said, “Praise be to God, by God’s permission.” His Lord said to him, “May your Lord have mercy on you, O Adam.” Then He said, “Go to that assembly of angels sitting there and say, ‘Peace be upon you.’” They said, “And upon you be peace and God’s mercy.” Then he returned to his Lord, Blessed and Exalted, and He said, “This is your greeting and the greeting of your descendants among themselves.” Then He said to him, with His hands closed, “Choose whichever of them you wish.” He said, “I choose the right hand of my Lord, and both hands of my Lord are right and blessed.” Then He opened it, and behold, in it were Adam and his descendants, and every human being had his lifespan written with him. Adam’s lifespan was a thousand years, and there were men among them upon whom was light, and among them was a man, the brightest of them or one of the brightest, for whom only forty years had been written. He said, “O Lord, who is this?” He said, “This is your son David.” He said, “O Lord, increase his lifespan.” He said, “That is what I have written for him.” He said, “Then I will reduce sixty years from my lifespan for him.” He said, “You and that.” Then Adam was settled in Paradise for as long as God willed, then he was sent down from it. He used to count for himself. The Angel of Death came to him and he said, “You have come early. Did not God write a thousand years for me?” He said, “Yes, but you gave sixty years of it to your son David.” He said, “I did not do that.” So he denied it, and his descendants denied it; and he forgot, and his descendants forgot. On that day, writing and witnesses were commanded.
