9) Adam Sees Eve
Adam Sees Eve
Ibn Abbas and a group of companions of the Prophet (PBUH) narrated that when Iblis was sent
out of Paradise and Adam was accommodated therein, Adam was alone in Paradise and did not
have a partner from whom he could get tranquility. He slept for some time and when he woke up,
he saw a woman whom Allah had created from his ribs. So he asked her, “Who are you? She
replied, “A woman” He asked: “Why have you been created?” She said :”So that you could find
tranquility in me.” The angels, trying to find out the extent of his knowledge, asked him: “What is
her name, O Adam?” He replied, “Eve”. They asked: “Why was she so named?” He replied, “
Because she was created from something living.”
