Is what the sister who interpreted the story of the creation of Adam said, that Allah created Adam as a body without a soul, and that Satan entered his inner being, and that he (Satan) knew that he was the one who would disobey Allah, and that Adam asked Allah to create for him one who would comfort him, so he slept and saw Eve in a dream, and that the angels made a procession for Adam and Eve, and that Satan hid in the belly of the snake to enter Paradise and whisper to them, and that Allah punished the snake by putting poison in its tongue and removing its legs, and that the interpretation of "And mankind was created of haste" is that Adam moved his legs as soon as he was created – is all of this sound from an Islamic legal perspective? And what is incumbent upon us to do regarding these interpretations?
The detailed statement mentioned in the question is not found in the authoritative books, but rather it was mentioned by some compilers who do not differentiate. The likely sources for this are the books of Isra'iliyyat (Judeo-Christian traditions), which are permissible to recount, provided one does not know that they contradict the established revelation, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Narrate from the Children of Israel, and there is no harm." Attending Quranic tafsir (exegesis) sessions is desirable if the teacher has sound belief, or if the student is capable of distinguishing between Sunnah and innovation.
