The Angels passed by remarking, ‘You have been created for a great affair.’ The Satan enHtered his mouth and passed through him emerging from the other side (anus). As a result, whatever is inside the belly of son of Adam is smelly and unclean. Another tradition from the Messenger of Allah states that the Almighty created Adam on a Friday. Imam Ja‘far as-Sadiq says that when the soul was ordered to enter the body of Adam it found it detestable.

The Almighty said that it should enter with dislike (forced in) and leave it in dislike (forced out). Authentic chains mention that Abu-Basir asked the same Imam the reason for Allah creating Adam without a father and mother, and of creating ‘Isa without a father whereas He created the rest of humans from both parents. Imam replied it was so that people may become aware of the Omnipotence of Allah that He is capable of creating without a male and of creating without a male and female.

They should realize that Allah is the Creator of every being and has power over everything. In another reliable tradition, Imam says that when the Almighty created Adam and ordered the soul to enter his body, the soul had not completely permeated into the body and according to another tradition it had reached only unto the knees, when Adam tried to stand up but he could not, and fell back; thus, the Almighty said, “Man is created with a hasty temperament.” Salman the Persian is quoted in authentic books to have remarked that the first organs of man to be created were the eyes.

Adam saw the creation of the rest of his body. Before the creation of legs was complete, he tried to stand up but could not succeed. That is why the Almighty said, “Man is created a hasty being.” When the soul entered his complete body he grasped a bunch of grapes and began to eat them.

According to an authentic tradition of Imam as-Sadiq, there are three fathers; the first is Adam the progenitor of the believers, second is Jaan the progenitor of Jinn and third is Satan the progenitor of infidels. The progeny of Satan is not created through pregnancy. It multiplies through eggs and chicks are hatched. All of them are males. They have no females. Imam al-Baqir says that the Almighty decided to create a being, by His power.

This was 7000 years after the Jinn and men had inhabited the earth.
