ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn ʿAbd al-Wārith transmitted the report through the same chain.
Al-Ḥākim remarked, “Its chain of transmission is sound, although neither al-Bukhārī nor Muslim recorded it.”
Al-Tirmidhī said, “It is ḥasan gharīb; we know it only through the narration of ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm, while some have related it from ʿAbd al-Ṣamad without attributing it to the Prophet.”

This constitutes a serious flaw, for the narration is also reported as mawqūf on the Companion—and that version is closer to the truth. Most likely he had taken it from the Israelite traditions; it is likewise related as mawqūf from Ibn ʿAbbās, and the apparent source is Kaʿb al-Aḥbār, who then recorded it—Allah knows best.
Al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī explained these verses in a completely different way; had he possessed a marfūʿ report from Samurah he would not have set it aside in favor of another view—Allah knows best.
Moreover, Allah, exalted is He, created Adam and Eve to be the origin of humankind and to propagate from them many men and women. How, then, could none of Eve’s children survive, as the ḥadith claims—assuming it were authentic? In fact, it is highly probable—indeed certain—that linking the report to the Prophet ﷺ is an error; the correct stance is that it is mawqūf. Allah knows best, and we have treated the matter in detail in our Tafsīr—praise be to Allah.

Adam and Eve were far more God-fearing than what has been alleged here. Adam is the father of mankind whom Allah created with His own hand, breathed into him of His spirit, commanded the angels to prostrate before him, taught him the names of all things, and settled him in His Garden.

Ibn Ḥibbān relates in his Ṣaḥīḥ, on the authority of Abū Dharr, who said:

I asked, “Messenger of Allah, how many prophets were there?”
He replied, “One hundred and twenty-four thousand.”
I asked, “Messenger of Allah, how many of them were messengers?”
He said, “Three hundred and thirteen—a great multitude.”
I asked, “Messenger of Allah, who was the first of them?”
He answered, “Adam.”
I asked, “Messenger of Allah, was he a prophet who had been sent?”
He said, “Yes. Allah created him with His own hand, then breathed into him of His spirit, and fashioned him perfectly.”

Al-Ṭabarānī also reports: Ibrāhīm ibn Nāʾilah al-Aṣbahānī told us; Shaybān ibn Farrūkh narrated to us; Nāfiʿ Abū Hurmaz narrated from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ, from Ibn ʿAbbās who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Shall I inform you who is the best of the angels? It is Gabriel; the best of the prophets is Adam; the best of days is Friday; the best of months is Ramaḍān; the best of nights is the Night of Decree; and the best of women is Mary, daughter of ʿImrān.”

This chain, however, is weak, for Nāfiʿ Abū Hurmaz
