Was Eve born with one hundred children at a time for the spread of humankind?
Muslims are advised to focus on what benefits them in their religion and worldly life, such as creed and legal rulings, instead of preoccupying themselves with matters of the Unseen for which there is no certain knowledge from the texts of the Qur’an and , and where knowing them brings no benefit and being ignorant of them causes no harm.
Some scholars have mentioned that Eve bore Adam, peace be upon him, one hundred and twenty pregnancies, each containing twins. It was also said: forty offspring (male and female) in twenty pregnancies, and this is the more well-known view. Allah legislated for Adam to marry the male of one pregnancy to the female of another. The statement that Eve bore one hundred offspring at one time is unreasonable and has not been mentioned by anyone.
