Is it true what is mentioned in some Jewish books about God creating a wife for Adam before Eve named Lilith?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The divine revelation mentions only one wife for Adam (peace be upon him), and that is Eve, whom Allah created from Adam for him to dwell with. She entered Paradise with him and descended to Earth with him. As for the story of "Lilith" as a second wife for Adam, it is a human myth from popular Jewish tradition, and there is no origin for it in divine revelation.
