Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The first words spoken by Adam, peace be upon him, after the soul was breathed into him, were "Alhamdulillah" (All praise is due to Allah). This has been narrated in a tradition from Ubayd ibn Umayr, who mentioned that Adam sneezed after he had sat up straight, and Allah inspired his tongue to say, "Alhamdulillah Rabbil-Alamin" (All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds). The angels then said, "Yarhamukallah" (May Allah have mercy on you). This has supporting narrations (shawahid marfu'ah) in the books of At-Tirmidhi, Al-Bayhaqi, and Ibn Hibban.
