What are the authentic hadiths that mention the creation of Eve from Adam's rib, and what is the wisdom in creating her from a crooked rib?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Eve, peace be upon her, was created from Adam’s rib, and authentic hadiths have been narrated to that effect. As for the wisdom behind her creation in this manner, only Allah knows it best. Allah Almighty did not create anything in vain, and it is not a condition for people to know the wisdom behind everything He created or legislated.
