Does the Almighty's saying, "And from them scattered countless men and women" mean that Adam and Eve were not the origin of all humankind?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Knowledge should be taken from trustworthy scholars. The meaning of (wa baththa) is: spread, manifest, and distribute. The verse establishes that Adam and Eve are the parents of the entire human race, and that they begot men and women, either directly in the early offspring, or through procreation for the subsequent generations born from their descendants. What is said about Adam having another wife is pure falsehood and a deviance, not asserted by anyone whose knowledge or religious opinion is sought.
