Authenticity of the hadeeth: ((Verily Allaah created Aadam upon His appearance))
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: What is the authenticity of the hadeeth:

((Verily Allaah created Aadam upon His appearance))?

...and may Allaah reward you with good.

Response: This hadeeth is authentic; So Allaah the Mighty and Majestic created Aadam upon His appearance, with hearing, sight, speech, with a face, hands, eyes and feet. And this does not mean he resembles Him, as Allaah the Mighty and Majestic says:

{There is nothing like unto Him}, Soorah ash-Shooraa, Aayah 11

...and also:

{And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him}, Soorah al-Ikhlaas, Aayah 4.

Just as the scholars of the Sunnah such as Ahmad ibn Hanbal and others have said.
