خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ كَٱلْفَخَّارِ

Translation

He (Allaah) created (the first) man from melodious (sounding) sand that resembles potter's clay. (Allaah mixed sand with water to make clay and then used the clay to fashion the mould of the first man, Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام When the clay had dried, it became hard and it made a melodious sound when struck by hand, just like a clay pot or vase.)

خلق أبا الإنسان، وهو آدم من طين يابس كالفَخَّار، وخلق إبليس، وهو من الجن من لهب النار المختلط بعضه ببعض.
