Narrated by ‘Imran b. Husayn (ra): I went to the Prophet (saw) (when some delegations from neighboring tribes came to meet the Prophet (saw)), He said (in response to a question put to him about the beginning of creation), “In past eternity, there was Allah and nothing else…” (al-Bukhari, Bad’ al-Khalq, 1)
Abu Hurayra (ra) narrates, “O Messenger of Allah! From what was life created?” He said, “From water.” (al-Tirmidhi, Sifat al-Janna, 2)
According to ‘A’isha (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “The Angels were created out of light and the Jinns were created out of the spark of fire and Adam was created as he has been defined (in the Holy Qur’an) for you (i.e., he is fashioned out of clay).” (Muslim, al-Zuhd, 60)
According to Abu Hurayra (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “Every child is born in a natural state, but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magainism (Zoroastrianism).” (al-Bukhari, al-Jana’iz, 92)
Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari (ra) reported the Messenger of Allah (saw) as saying, “Allah created Adam from a certain amount of soil which he took from all over the earth. For this reason, so the children of Adam (in terms of color and nature) emerged as the earth (in different ways). Some of them are red, some are white, some are black, some are mixed (hybrid); some soft, some hard, some bad, some good (benign) were born.” (Abu Da’ud, al-Sunna, 16)
