عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ الْفَجْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَتَى كُنْتَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ جُعِلْتَ نَبِيًّا قَالَ وَآدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بَيْنَ الرُّوحِ وَالْجَسَدِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Maisarah Fajr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! When were you made a Prophet?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "I was made a Prophet at a time when Adam (peace be upon him) was still between soul and body."
