HADITH OF THE DAY
PROPHET ADAM
Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allah upon Him) said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go & greet that group of angels, & listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) & the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you).
The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace & Allah's Mercy be upon you).
