*Adam’s (Alaihissalaam) Attributes*
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) told us of his attributes. He (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:
“Allah created Adam and his height was sixty arms-spans, and said to him: ‘Go and greet those angels, and listen to how they greet you; that will be your greeting and the greeting of your progeny.’ (So he went and said): ‘As-
Salamu alaykum,’ and they responded, ‘As-Salamu ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullah.’ They added ‘wa Rahmatullah’. Everyone who enters Jannah will do so with Adam’s attributes, and the creation to this day has been continually decreasing in height.” [Bukhari]
*Why do the Children of Adam Differ?*
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) clarified why the children of Adam differ from each other; whether in colour, character, or nature. He (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:
“Indeed Allah (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) created Adam (Alaihissalaam) with a handful which he scooped from the earth, so the children of Adam came to be that (form and nature) according to the (specific) soil (they were made from). Some are red, black, white, and
yellow, and some are easygoing, sad, despicable, good and pure, while others are a mixture.” [Ibn Hibbaan]
