"When Adam (as) passed away and it was time to perform the prayer for him, the son of Adam, Hibatullah (Seth), said to Archangel Jibril (as):
'Advance, O’ Messenger (intermediary) of Allah (swt), and lead the prayer over the Prophet of Allah (swt).'
Archangel Jibril (as) replied: 'Allah (swt), the Exalted, commanded us to prostrate to your father, and we do not go ahead of the best of his progeny. You are among the most righteous of them, so you should lead.'
Hibatullah advanced and performed five takbirs over him, corresponding to the number of prayers that Allah (swt) made obligatory for the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon
