The Authenticity of the Narration Regarding the Sending of Angels to Take a Handful of Dust

Question:
Ahmad from Jazan, please go ahead, Ahmad. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace. Honorable Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him), there is a preacher who says that the historical reports relied upon by the exegetes state that Allah the Exalted sent an angel—some reports identify him as Jibril—to the earth to take a handful of dust from it. When he reached it, the earth sought refuge in Allah from him, so he felt compassion for it and returned. His Lord asked him, and he said, "My Lord, it sought refuge in You from me, so I spared it." So Allah the Exalted sent another angel, who is said to be Mika'il. He was in the same state as Jibril. Then Allah the Exalted sent a third angel, other than Jibril and Mika'il. When the earth said to him what it had said to the other two, "I seek refuge in Allah from you," he said, "Or shall I seek refuge in Allah that I disobey a command?" So he took a handful of dust, but he made it scattered from various paths. And for this reason, as you see, among the children of Adam, their colors differ, their tongues differ, and even their temperaments differ. What is the authenticity of this? May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
It needs to be established where he took this hadith from. He should clarify the source from which he took it and the chain of narration through which it was reported. This may be from the Isra’iliyyat. Yes, Adam was created from the earth’s soil, from much soil from the earth that was different. Therefore, the temperaments of the children of Adam differ, because this aggregate from the earth is in the case of Adam (peace be upon him). Yes.
