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} ash-Shooraa 42:11
…and also:
{And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him} al-Ikhlaas 112:4
Just as the scholars of the Sunnah such as Ahmad ibn Hanbal and others have said.
