Inverse17:11Allahclaimsthatthehumanbeingisimpatient;hepraysforsomethingthat maynotbegoodforhim.IbnKathirexplainsthatAdamwantedtogetupbeforehissoul reachedhisfeet(thiswasAdamsimpatience).Whenhissoulwasbreathedintohim,it enteredhisbodyfromhisheaddownwards.Whenitreachedhisbrainhesneezed,andsaid, AlHamduLillah.IbnAbbaswritesthatthisverse referstoalNadribnalHarith;heishastyto encounterchastisement.SoAllahsentdownthis verseclaimingthatalNadrneednotbetoo impatienttoreceiveAllahschastisement. IbnSad(p.1.20)providesabetterdescriptionof AllahscreationofIslamicAdam.Henarratesthat AllahcreatedAdamoutofthreekindsofsoils: black,white,andfertile.SinceAdamwascreated forearthitwasnecessaryforhimtoeatthe forbiddenfruit. AccordingtoMartinLings(p.17)Adamweptfor threehundredyearsthelossofheavens. MartinLings(p.102)alsowritesthatMuhammadwasaprophetwhenAdamwasbetween waterandclay.
