Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith regarding intercession mentions that the first of the messengers was Noah, and in a hadith... that the first of them was Adam?

Answer:
The first of the messengers to the people of the earth after shirk (associating partners with Allah) occurred among them was Noah, just as Adam said: "You are the first messenger Allah sent to the people of the earth." This means after shirk occurred. As for Adam, he was a messenger and a prophet with regard to himself and his descendants before shirk occurred.
