Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, was Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) a prophet?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Yes! He was both a prophet and a messenger. Allah Almighty spoke to him directly; Allah Almighty said to him: 'O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise!'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and Imam Ahmad recorded something similar within a long hadith, whose chain contains al-Mas'udi, who had become confused (ikhtilat) in his memory.
