Question:
Explain to us the saying of the Truthful One (Blessed and Exalted is He):
And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ
[Al-Hijr: 28]?

Answer:
This is Adam (peace be upon him), whom Allah created from clay from the earth. So, *salصال* is the clay that dried until it had a sound, and *ham'a masnun* is the clay that acquired a smell due to its long stay with water.
So, the result is: that Allah created him from *salصال* of *ham'a masnun*, which is the earth that was mixed with water until it had a sound, and until it became foul-smelling and became *ham'a* with a smell. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
