Hadith 1123
۞
Hadith.4336 - Zurarah ibn A'yun narrated that Abu Abdillah (as) was asked about the creation of Hawwa (Eve). It was said to him that some people claim Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, created Hawwa from the leftmost rib of Adam.
Imam (as) said
"Glory be to Allah (swt) and far exalted is He (swt) above such a claim. Does the one who says this believe that Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, lacked the power to create Adam's spouse from something other than his rib? Does he provide an opportunity for those who seek to cast doubts to say that Adam married a part of himself if she was created from his rib? What is wrong with these people? May Allah (swt) judge between us and them."
Then Imam (as) said: "Indeed, when Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, created Adam (as) from clay and commanded the angels to prostrate before him, He (swt) caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. He (swt) then created Hawwa for him and placed her in the indentation between his thighs. This was done so that the woman would be dependent upon the man."
Imam (as) continued: "Hawwa began to move, which caused Adam to wake up due to her movement. When he woke up, he was told to move away from her. When he looked at her, he saw a beautiful creation resembling his own image, except that she was female. He spoke to her, and she responded to him in his language."
Adam (as) then asked her: 'Who are you?'
She replied: 'A creation whom Allah (swt) created, as you can see.'
Adam (as) then said: 'O Lord (azj), what is this beautiful creation whose closeness has comforted me and whose sight has pleased me?'
Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, said: "O Adam, this is My servant Hawwa. Do you wish for her to be with you, to comfort you, converse with you, and be subject to your command?"
Adam (as) replied: "Yes, O Lord (azj), and for that, I offer You praise and thanks for as long as I live."
Allah (swt), the Almighty, then said: "Propose to her through Me (swt), for she is My servant, and she may also be suitable for you as a wife for fulfilling desires."
Allah (swt) then instilled in Adam the natural desire and had already taught him knowledge of all things.
Adam (as) said: "O Lord (azj), I propose to her through You (swt). What is Your (swt) satisfaction regarding this matter?"
Allah (swt), the Almighty, said: "My satisfaction is that you teach her the principles of My religion."
Adam (as) replied: "That is upon me, O Lord (azj), if You (swt) will grant her to me."
Allah (swt), the Almighty, said: "I have willed it and have married her to you. Now take her to yourself."
Adam (as) then said to her: "Come to me."
But she replied: "No, you come to me."
Allah (swt), the Almighty, then commanded Adam (as) to go to her. Had it not been so, women would have approached men and proposed themselves.
This is the story of Hawwa (peace be upon her)."
As for the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious: "O mankind, fear your Lord (azj), who created you from a single soul and created from it its mate, and dispersed from both of them many men and women" (Surah An-Nisa 4:1),
It is narrated that Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, created Adam's spouse from his clay, as mentioned in the verse: "And dispersed from both of them many men and women" (Surah An-Nisa 4:1).
