Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Nabi ne kaha, "Allah ne Aadam ko banaya, unhe saath hath (cubits) lamba banate huye. Jab usne unhe banaya, usne (unse) kaha, 'Jaao aur us farishton ke giroh ko salaam karo, aur unka jawab suno, kyunke woh tumhari aur tumhari aulad ki salaami hogi.' Isliye Aadam ne (farishton se) kaha, 'As-Salamu Alaikum.' Farishton ne jawab diya, 'As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi.' Isi tarah farishton ne Aadam ki salaami mein 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi' joda. Koi bhi shaks jo Jannat mein daakhil hoga, Aadam jaisa (aakar mein) hoga. Aadam ke banaye jane ke baad se log kad mein kam hote gaye hain."
