Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ وَعَفَّانُ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمَّا صَوَّرَ آدَمَ تَرَكَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ فَجَعَلَ إِبْلِيسُ يَطِيفُ بِهِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَجْوَفَ عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ خَلْقٌ لَا يَتَمَالَكُ.
English Translation
Hasan and Affan told us, the meaning being the same, they said: Hammad ibn Salama told us: Thabit al-Bunani informed us, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'When God, Mighty and Majestic, formed Adam, He left him as long as God willed to leave him, and Iblis began to circle around him; when he saw that he was hollow, he knew that he was a creation that could not control itself.'
