When Allaah, the Most Exalted, wanted to create Aadam He informed His
angels of that. They asked Him the reason behind that, because they
knew that the sons of Aadam would cause corruption and shed blood, and
they would disobey Allaah and disbelieve in Him. He told them that
there were reasons for the creation of Aadam which they did not know.
Allaah Says in the Quran (what means): "And [mention, O Muhammad],
when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth
a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who
causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your
praise and sanctify You?" He [Allaah] said, "Indeed, I know that which
you do not know." [Quran 2:30]
Their prostration to Aadam when he was created:
Allaah commanded His angels to prostrate to Aadam when Hehad completed
his creation and breathed His soul into him, Saying (what means): "[So
mention] when your Lord said to the angels: "Indeed, I am going to
create a human being from clay. So when I have proportioned him and
breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in
prostration ." [Quran 38:71-72]
They responded to the command,except for Satan, as in the verse (which
means): "So the angels prostrated — all of them entirely.Except Satan;
he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers." [Quran 38:73-74]
How the angels taught Aadam :
It is narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah said:
"Allaah created Aadam in his image (i.e. without progressing through
the stages of a normal human, starting froma sperm until the
completion of his human formation), and he (Aadam) was sixty cubits
tall. When He had created him, He said, `Go and greet them – a
group of angels who were sitting– and listen to how they respond,for
that will be your greeting andthe greeting of your descendents.' So he
said, 'As-Salaamu `Alaykum,' and they said, 'As-Salaamu `Alayka wa
rahmat-Allaahi. So they added thewords wa rahmat-Allaah."
[Al-Bukhaari]
The angels washed Aadam when he died:
When Aadam died, his children did not know what they should do with
his body, so the angels taught them. Ubayy Ibn Ka'b narrated that the
Prophet said: "When Aadam, died, the angels washed his body with water
an odd number of times, then they buried him in a grave with a niche
(land), and said: This is the way of the sons of Aadam." [Al-Haakim
and At-Tabaraani]
It is narrated in an authentic narration that the angels
washedHanthalah Ibn Abu `Aamir who was martyred in the battle of Uhud.
The Messenger said to his companions after Hanthalah was killed: "The
angels are washing your companion" – meaning Hanthalah. The companions
asked his wife, and she said that he had gone out when he heard the
call to Jihaad, and he was in astate of ritual impurity following
marital relations. The Messenger of Allaah said, "That is why the
angels washed his body." [Al-Haakim and Al-Bayhaqi]
2 – The angels and the sons of Aadam :
The connection between the angels and the descendents of Aadam is very
strong. They are there when a person is created, they guard him/her
afterhe/she emerges into this world. They bring the revelation from
Allaah and they watch over people's actions and behaviour. They bring
a person's soul forth from his body when his appointed time (of death)
comes.
Their role in the creation of man:
Abu Tharr said: "I heard the Messenger of Allaah say: `When forty-two
nights are passed, Allaah sends an angel to the nutfah (embryo) and he
gives it shape, forming its hearing and sight, its skin, flesh and
bones. Then he says: `O Lord, male or female?' Then your Lord decrees
whatever He wills and the angel writes it down.'" [Muslim]
It is narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said: "The Messenger of Allaah who is
the most truthful one, told us: "Each one ofyou comes together in
mother's womb for forty days, then becomes an 'Aalaqah (clot) for a
similar period of time. Then he becomes a Mudhghah (chewed lump of
flesh) for a similar lengthof time. Then Allaah sends an angel to him,
who is commandedwith four things. It is said to him:Write down his
deeds, his provision, and whether he is doomed (destined for Hell) or
blessed (destined for Paradise). Then the soul is breathed into him.'"
[Al-Bukhaari]
The Prophet also said: "Allaah has appointed an angel over the womb,
and he (the angel) says, 'OLord, a Nutfah (embryo from the mixed
discharge of male and female); O Lord, an 'Alaqah (clot); O Lord, a
Mudhghah (chewed lump of flesh).' And when Allaah wants to decree his
creation, he says: `O Lord, male or female? Doomed or blessed? What is
his provision? What is his lifespan?' All of that is written when he
is in his mother's womb." [Al-Bukhaari]
The angels guard the sons of Aadam :
Almighty Allaah Says (what means): "It is the same [to Him] concerning
you whether one conceals [his] speech or one publicizes it and whether
one is hidden by night or conspicuous [among others] by day. For him
[i.e. each one] are successive [angels] before and behind him who
protect him by the decree ofAllaah. Indeed, Allaah will not change the
condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And
when Allaah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And
there is not for them besides Him any patron." [Quran 13:10-11]
Ibn `Abbaas has explained that what is meant by"successive angels" is
the angels whom Allaah appoints to guard aperson from before and from
behind. Then when the decree of Allaah comes, which Allaah wills
should befall him, they withdraw from him.
Mujaahid said: "There is no person who does not have an angel
appointed to protect him when he is asleep and when he isawake, from
the jinn, other men and savage beasts. None of these come to him, but
the angel tells it, `Keep away!' except for that which Allaah has
given permission to befall him."
A man said to 'Ali Ibn Abu Taalib : "A group from (the tribe of)
Muraad want to kill you." He (`Ali) said: "With every man there are
angels guarding him from whatever has not been decreed for him. When
the decree comes, they move away from him and letit reach him. Your,
fixed lifespan (decreed by Allaah) is a protection for you."
[Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah]
These guardians are sent by Allaah to protect His slaves until the
decreed time of death comes to them.
