Question: What is the authenticity of the hadeeth «Verily Allaah created Aadam upon His appearance», and may Allaah reward you with good?
Response: This hadeeth is authentic; So Allaah the Mighty and Majestic created Aadam upon His appearance, with hearing, sight, speech, with a face, hands, eyes and feet. And this does not mean he resembles Him, as Allaah the Mighty and Majestic says:
{There is nothing like unto Him}, Soorah ash-Shooraa, Aayah 11
…and also:
{And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him}, Soorah al-Ikhlaas, Aayah 4.
Just as the scholars of the Sunnah such as Ahmad ibn Hanbal and others have said.
