Tafseer Ibn Kathir
Among the Signs of Allah
Allah says;
وَمِنْ ايَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ
And among His signs is this that He created you from dust, --
which speak of His might and power, is the fact that He created your father Adam out of dust.
ثُمَّ إِذَا أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ
and then -- behold you are human beings scattered!
So man's origins lie in dust, then in a despised liquid, then he is formed and becomes a clot, then a lump of flesh, then bones in the form of a human being. Then Allah clothes the bones with flesh. Then the soul is breathed into him and he can hear and see. Then he comes forth from his mother's womb, small and weak, but the longer he lives, the stronger he becomes, until he reaches the age where he can build cities and strongholds, and he travels to different lands and across the seas, earning a living and amassing wealth, and he is smart and intelligent and crafty, with ideas and opinions of his own, and each one is able to achieve great things in this world and in the Hereafter according to his individual means.
Glory be to the One Who has enabled them and made it easy for them to learn all kinds of skills for earning a living, and has caused them to vary in their levels of knowledge and intellectual ability, and in how handsome or ugly, rich or poor they are, and in whether they are blessed and doomed.
Allah says;
وَمِنْ ايَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ
And among His signs is this that He created you from dust, and then -- behold you are human beings scattered!
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Musa said,
"The Messenger of Allah said;
إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ ادَمَ مِنْ قَبْضَةٍ قَبَضَهَا مِنْ جَمِيع الاَْرْضِ فَجَاءَ بَنُو ادَمَ عَلَى قَدْرِ الاَْرْضِ جَاءَ مِنْهُمُ الاَْبْيَضُ وَالاَْحْمَرُ وَالاَْسْوَدُ وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَالْخَبِيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ وَالسَّهْلُ وَالْحَزْنُ وَبَيْنَ ذَلِك
Allah created Adam from a handful taken from throughout the earth. Hence the sons of Adam vary as the earth varies, so they are white and red and black and (colors) in between, evil and good, easy-going or difficult -- or something in between."
This was also recorded by Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi, who said, "This Hadith is Hasan Sahih."
