حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ

قَالَ عَبْدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خُلِقَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ نُورٍ وَخُلِقَ الْجَانُّ مِنْ مَارِجٍ مِنْ نَارٍ وَخُلِقَ آدَمُ مِمَّا وُصِفَ لَكُمْ»

Aishah reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The Angels were born out of light and the Jinns were born out of the spark of fire and Adam was born as he has been defined (in the Qur’an) for you (i. e. he is fashioned out of clay).

উমাইয়্যাহ্ ইবনু বিসত্বাম আল আয়শী (রহঃ) ..... আনাস (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত যে, তিনি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে একত্রে হাজ্জ ও উমরাহ আদায় করতে দেখেছেন। রাবী বলেন, আমি ইবনু উমর (রাযিঃ) কে জিজ্ঞেস করলে তিনি বলেন, আমরা শুধু হাজ্জের (হজ্জের/হজের) ইহরাম বেঁধেছি। আমি (বাকর) পুনরায় আনাস (রাযিঃ) এর নিকট ফিরে আসি এবং ইবনু উমর (রাযিঃ) যা বলেছেন, সে সম্পর্কে তাকে অবহিত করলাম। আনাস (রাযিঃ) বললেন, আমরা বুঝি তখন শিশু ছিলাম!*

حبیب بن شہید نے بکر بن عبداللہ سے روایت کی ، ( کہا : ) ہمیں حضرت انس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے حدیث بیا ن کی کہ انھوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو دیکھا کہ آپ نے ان دونوں کو ملایاتھا ، حج اور عمرے کو ۔

( بکر نے ) کہا : میں نے حضرت ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اس کے متعلق دریافت کیا تو انھوں نے فرمایا : ہم نے ( صرف ) حج کا تلبیہ کہا تھا ۔

( بکر نے کہا : ) پھر میں نے حضرت انس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے رجوع کیا اور انھیں ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کی بات بتائی ۔ انھوں نے جواب دیا : جیسے ہم تو اس وقت بچے تھے؟

Dan telah meceritakan kepadaku [Umayyah bin Bistham Al 'Aisyi] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yazid bin Zurai'] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Habib bin Asy Syahid] dari [Bakr bin Abdullah] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Anas] radliallahu 'anhu bahwa ia pernah melihat Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menggabungkan antata keduanya (haji dan umrah)."

Bakr berkata; Lalu aku bertanya kepada [Ibnu Umar], maka ia pun berkata, "Kami Ihlal (memulai ihram) untuk haji." Kemudian aku pun kembali kepada Anas dan menyampaikan apa yang telah dikatakan oleh Ibnu Umar, maka ia pun berkata, "Sepertinya (saat itu), kami masih anak-anak

Bana Ümeyyetu'bnu Bistâm EI-Ayşî rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Yezîd yâni İbni Zürey' rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Habib b. Şehid, Bekir b. Abdillâh'dan rivayet etti.

Dönerek İbni Ömer'in söylediğini Enes'e haber verdim, Enes: — Gâlîbâ biz, çocuk olduk! dedi.»

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about the beginning of creation. He first mentioned that the angels were created from light, and for this reason they do not disobey Allah nor are they prevented by arrogance from worshiping Him. As for the jinn, they were created from fire, and for this reason many of them are characterized by recklessness, vanity, and hostility.

As to Adam, he was created from "what was described to you", i.e. he was created from dust and clay. Dust became sticky clay then dry clay, like pottery, and Adam was created therefrom.
