al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 214

Translation

✧ When Allah created Adam and breathed into him the spirit, he sneezed and said, 'Praise be to Allah.' He praised Allah by Allah's permission. His Lord said to him, 'May your Lord have mercy on you, O Adam.' And He said to him, 'O Adam, go to those angels, to a group of them sitting, and say, "Peace be upon you."' So he went, and they said, 'And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.' Then he returned to his Lord, and He said, 'This is your greeting and the greeting of your descendants and their descendants.' Allah said to him, while His two hands were closed, 'Choose whichever of them you wish.' He said, 'I chose the right hand of my Lord, and both hands of my Lord are right and blessed.' Then He spread it open, and behold, in it were Adam and his offspring. He said, 'O Lord, who are these?' He said, 'Your offspring.' And behold, every human had his lifespan written between his eyes. And among them was a man, the brightest of them—or he said, one of the brightest of them—for whom only forty years were written. He said, 'O Lord, increase his lifespan.' He said, 'That is what was written for him.' He said, 'I have given him sixty years from my own lifespan.' He said, 'You and that.' Then Adam was made to dwell in Paradise for as long as Allah willed, then he was brought down from it. Adam was counting for himself, and the Angel of Death came to him. Adam said to him, 'You have come early. A thousand years were written for me.' He said, 'Yes, but you gave sixty of them to your son Dawud.' So he denied, and his descendants denied; and he forgot, and his descendants forgot. Thus on that day we were commanded with writing and witnesses.
