Hadith 12539

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ آدَمَ تَرَكَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدَعَهُ ، فَجَعَلَ إِبْلِيسُ يُطِيفُ بِهِ ، يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَجْوَفَ ، عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ خَلْقٌ لَا يَتَمَالَكُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah created the figure of Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him), He left it as it was for some time. Satan used to circle around that figure and observe it. When he saw that there was a belly in the middle of this creature's body, he realized that this creature would not be able to control itself.
