The Holy Quran 15:26 — Surah Al-Hijr

Arabic text

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

Translation

Indeed we created man (Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام) out of melodious sand derived from dark decomposing (moistened) clay. (The various verses of the Qur'aan individually refer to various stages in man's creation. The fact is that water was mixed with soil, turning it into clay. Then this clay was left until it began to decompose and become dark in colour. Thereafter the mould of Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام was cast with this. When the mould set and dried, it became like potted clay that has a melodious sound when struck.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ولقد خلقنا آدم مِن طين يابس إذا نُقِر عليه سُمع له صوت، وهذا الطين اليابس من طين أسود متغيِّر لونه وريحه; مِن طول مكثه.
