قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، ثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
« إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى خَلَقَ آدَمَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُ طِينًا، ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ حَمَأً مَسْنُونًا خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ، ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ صَلْصَالًا كَالْفَخَّارِ كَانَ إِبْلِيسُ يَمُرُّ بِهِ فَيَقُولُ: لَقَدْ خُلِقْتَ لِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ ! ثُمَّ نَفَخَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِهِ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ جَرَى فِيهِ الرُّوحُ بَصَرُهُ وَخَيَاشِيمُهُ، فَعَطَسَ فَلَقَّنَهُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَمْدَ رَبِّهِ، فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ رَبُّكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: يَا آدَمُ، اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ، فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا يَقُولُونَ. فَجَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ. فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: مَاذَا قَالُوا لَكَ - وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا قَالُوا ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالُوا: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ. قَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: يَا آدَمُ، هَذِهِ تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ. قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، وَمَا ذُرِّيَّتِي ؟ قَالَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: اخْتَرْ إِحْدَى يَدَيَّ يَا آدَمُ. قَالَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ: اخْتَرْ يَمِينَ رَبِّي، وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْ رَبِّي يَمِينٌ، فَبَسَطَ اللهُ تَعَالَى كَفَّهُ، فَإِذَا كُلَّمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ فِي كَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

✧ Indeed Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, created Adam from dust, then made him clay, then left him until he became dark, smooth mud; He created him and formed him. Then He left him until he was like potter's clay. Iblis would pass by him and say: 'You have been created for a great matter!' Then Allah, Exalted is He, breathed into him from His spirit. The first thing in which the spirit flowed was his sight and his nostrils. He sneezed, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, prompted him to praise his Lord. The Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He, said: 'May Allah have mercy on you, your Lord.' Then Allah, Exalted is He, said: 'O Adam, go to those people and greet them, and see what they say.' He came and greeted them, and they said: 'And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.' He came to his Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He, and He said, Majestic and Exalted is He: 'What did they say to you?'—though He knows best what they said. He said: 'O Lord, I greeted them and they said: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.' He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: 'O Adam, this is your greeting and the greeting of your descendants.' He said: 'O Lord, and what are my descendants?' He, Majestic and Exalted is He, said: 'Choose one of My hands, O Adam.' He ﷺ said: 'I choose the right hand of my Lord, and both hands of my Lord are right.' So Allah, Exalted is He, spread His palm, and behold, all that would be among his descendants was in the palm of the Most Merciful, Blessed and Exalted is He.
