Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38658 — the first to do a thing, and who did
٣٨٦٥٨ - حدثنا غندر عن شعبة عن الحكم عن إبراهيم (عن) (١) (٢) سلمان الفارسي قال: أول ما خلق اللَّه من آدم راسه فجعل ينظر وهو يخلق، قال: ⦗١٦٥⦘ (وبقيت) (٣) رجلاه، فلما كان بعد العصر قال: يا رب عجل قبل الليل، فذلك قوله (تعالى) (٤): ﴿وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ عَجُولًا﴾ [الإسراء: ١١] (٥).
Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the first part of Adam that Allah Almighty created was his head. Adam kept watching himself being created. After Asr, the making of his feet remained, so he said: "O my Lord! Make haste and complete me before nightfall." This is the meaning of the saying of Allah Almighty: "And man is ever hasty" [Al-Isra: 11].
