20612: He is amazed by the height of Adam (peace be upon him)
Question:
In saheeh al bukhari hadith No246, rasulullah states Adam was created 30m in
height. i cannot understand and imagine this can you please expain?.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
This hadeeth was narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him)
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said:
"Allaah created Adam and he was sixty cubits tall. Then He said, `Go and
greet those angels and listen to how they greet you, for that will be your
greeting and the greeting of your progeny.' He said, `Al-salaamu `alaykum
(Peace be upon you).' They said, `Al-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmat-Allaah
(Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allaah).' So they added the words `wa
rahmat Allaah.' And everyone who enters Paradise will be in the form of
Adam. People kept on growing smaller until now."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3336; Muslim, 7092
According to a version narrated by Muslim: "Everyone who enters Paradise
will be in the form of Adam who was sixty cubits tall. People kept growing
smaller until now."
With regard to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), "People kept growing smaller until now," al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said
in Fath al-Baari (6/367):
"This means that in every generation people grew shorter than the previous
generation, and continued to grow shorter until the time of this ummah, then
they stayed like that."
The Muslim is obliged to believe in every idea for which there is evidence
in the Qur'aan or saheeh Sunnah from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). Imam al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on
him) said: "I believe in Allaah and in that which came from Allaah in the
sense meant by Allaah. I believe in the Messenger of Allaah and in what came
from the Messenger of Allaah in the sense meant by the Messenger of Allaah."
See al-Irshaad Sharh Lam'at al-I'tiqaad, p. 89.
So the believer is required to believe with firm faith in everything that we
are told by Allaah and by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him), if it is proven to be soundly reported from him (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him). He must believe in it with firm faith that leaves no
room for the slightest doubt. He must accept it in general and specific
terms, whether he understands it or not and whether he finds it strange or
not, because not understanding something that is proven in a sound report
does not mean that it did not happen. All that means is that he cannot
comprehend this particular issue. Allaah has commanded us to believe in
everything that He tells us and everything that His Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) tells us. Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning): "Only those are the believers who have believed in Allaah and
His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and
their lives for the Cause of Allaah. Those! They are the truthful"
[al-Hujuraat 49:15]
Part of faith is belief in the unseen (al-ghayb). The hadeeth we are
discussing here comes under this heading. Allaah praises those who believe
in the unseen, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Alif-Laam-Meem. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'aan and
none but Allaah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
This is the Book (the Qur'aan), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to
those who are Al-Muttaqoon [the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism who
fear Allaah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has
forbidden) and love Allaah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He
has ordained)].
Who believe in the Ghayb[the unseen]" [al-Baqarah 2:1-3]
You should note that Allaah is Able to do all things. Just as He is able to
create man in the form that he appears in now, He is also Able to create man
in a larger or smaller form.
If this is difficult for you to understand, then think of the dwarves that
we see, who are child-sized men. If this can happen, then why could the
opposite not happen, namely a man being sixty cubits tall? In the history of
mankind there have been giants as the archaeologists tell us.
The basic principle here is to accept the absolute power of Allaah and to
accept what He tells us and what His Messenger (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) tell us, and to say what those who are well versed in
knowledge say:
"We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our
Lord"
[Aal `Imraan 3:7 _ interpretation of the meaning].
We ask Allaah to show us the truth as true and help us to follow it, and to
show us falsehood as false and help us to avoid it.
And Allaah knows best.
