إِنَّ اللَّه تَعالى خَلقَ حَوّاء مِن فَضلِ طينةِ آدمَ عَلى صُورَتِه وَكانَ أَلْقَى عَليهِ النُّعاسَ وَاراهُ ذلكَ في مَنامه وَهيَ أَوَّلُ رُؤيا كانَت في الأَرْضِ فانتَبَهَ وَهيَ جالِسةٌ عَندَ رَأْسِهِ فَقالَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : يا آدمُ ما هذِهِ الجالِسةُ ؟ قالَ : الرُّؤيا التَّي أَريتَني في مَنامي ، فَانسَ وَحَمَدَ اللّه .

Patience And Tolerance It has been reported that some of Adam’s younger children were going up and down his body, one of then using Adam’s ribs as ladder for going up to his head and coming down the same way but Adam had lowered his head saying nothing nor raising his head. An elder son of Adam said: O father, can’t you see what he is doing to you? You should forbid him to do so. Adam said: O my son, you have not seen what I have seen and you do not know what I know.

I made a move by which I fell from the abode of honor to the abode of abjection and from the abode of blessings to the abode of wretchedness. Hence, I am afraid of doing something which will bring affliction upon me.

His Thankfulness When dying, Prophet Adam made a sermon to his children and said: Praise is due to the lord of the worlds who created me with His own hands, made my creation perfect, fashioned me in the best way, honored me with His angels’ prostration, taught me all the names and made me settle in paradise. However, He had created me not only for a few days. Nevertheless, what he had willed, happened to me.

Therefore, praise is due to Him who removed pollution from me, favored me with His attention to my awe and weeping, accepted my repentance, guided me to His obedience and made me firm in it following my sin, and aided me in fighting my enemy — Eblis — after I had obeyed Him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is One, there is no partner for Him, He is Eternal after the annihilation of all creatures.
