Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Allah Almighty created Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) from all parts of the earth, so his progeny will be according to that. Among them are some who are black, some white, some red, some yellow, and some in between. Some are easy-going, some are sorrowful, some are bad, and some are excellent."
