Immediately, the clothing of light fell off from their bodies, genitals appeared on their bodies, and they ran away in shock. Allah asked Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎): “O Adam, Are you fleeing from me?” “O My Lord, No. I am running due to the embarrassment of my naked state,” he replied. (Fathul Bari of Ibn Hajar ‘ Asqalani, vol. 6, page 367)
 
Day 26: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

26 After about 40 years of the pair enjoying all the bounties of paradise, Allah desired that the populating process on earth should begin. As a result, they were expelled from paradise. Who accompanied them to earth?

Naturally, accompanying Nabi Sayyadina (عليه السلام‎) was his wife Lady Hawwa (عليها السلام), who landed in Jeddah, Arabia. The snake which allowed the devil to enter paradise was also expelled, it landed in Isfahan, Persia. Iblees landed in a place near Basrah, Iraq; and the eminent Prophet himself found himself somewhere on the mountaintops of India. His first meal was a handful of bor that he plucked from a tree. (Hayat-e-Adam, page 6)
 
Day 27: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

27 What objects did Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) bring to earth along with him?

These were five: 1) The Black Stone (Hajr Aswad of the Ka’bah) which was at that time white as snow; 2) Some branches, leaves and flowers of paradise which covered his body; 3) His staff which was from a tree of paradise; 4) Some farming implements like an axe, a hoe, a spade and an anvil; and 5) A flask.

Angel Jibra’il appeared shortly thereafter with seven seeds, instructing Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) to plant them, harvest them and prepare his bread from them. He was ignorant of the process of preparing meals in paradise, as there was no need to do so then. It’s said that in order to prepare a loaf of bread, there were 365 steps that were to be completed. (Hayat-e-Adam, page 6)
 
Day 28: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

28 Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) was extremely remorseful for his mistake and cried for 180 years in repentance – 70 years for eating from the tree, 70 years in remorse over his sins, and 40 years in grief over the murder of his one son, Qabeel, of his brother, Habeel. However, as soon as he recited the following words according to the will of Allah, he was forgiven: “La Ilaha Illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah.” Allah asked him: “O Adam, where did you read these words and how do you know Muhammad?” What was his answer?

Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) replied that when his soul was being blown in to him, he recalled these words written on the foot of the throne of Allah. (Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah of ibn Kathir, vol. 1, page 71)

Although Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) spoke Arabic whilst he was in paradise, as soon as he descended on earth, he automatically started speaking another language. What language was this?

Syriac. (Sharh Hidayah by Badrud Din al-‘Aini, vol. 1, page 52)
 
Day 29: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

29 Lady Hawwa (عليها السلام) would give birth to her children in pairs - one female and one male. It was decreed that the male of one delivery should marry the female of another delivery, but Qabeel (Cain), refused to do this. He wanted to marry his own twin sister, named Iqleema, because she was more beautiful than the twin sister of Habeel (Abel), named Laudha, whom he was supposed to marry. To solve this, Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) asked both of them to offer a sacrifice to Allah. Both did, but only Habeel’s was accepted. Out of sheer enmity, Qabeel killed his brother and this was to become the first murder in the world. What did the two offer in sacrifice?

Habeel sacrificed his fattest and most best lamb while Qabeel only offered the poorest of his crops to Allah swt.

Habeel offered a fat lamb, whilst Qabeel offered a bundle of the worst crop he had grown. (Qasasul Anbiya of ibn Kathir, page 54)
 
Day 30: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

30 Since Qabeel did not know how to dispose the corpse of his brother, he fled with it on his back for one whole year until it started rotting. In order to have show mankind how to dispose off a body with dignity, Allah sent two birds who fought with each other. When one killed the other, it dug a hole and buried it. Qabeel followed this cue. What birds were these?

Two crows or ravens (ghurab). (Qur’an 5:30-34)
 
Day 31: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

31 In order to compensate for the loss of Habeel, Allah created another person who was born with no twin sister five years after this murder. What was his name and how was he honoured?

His name was Sheeth (عليه السلام‎) (Seth - meaning a gift, in place of Habeel) and he was honoured by being given the succession to his father, Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎). As the second prophet of the world, he was given 50 scriptures out of a total of 104 that Allah revealed to all the prophets on earth. He lived for 720 years. (Qasasun Nabiyyin of ibn Kathir, page 62)

32 After killing his brother, what happened to Qaabil?

Qaabil fled from the anger of his father and settled down across the river on flat plains, whilst the progeny of Sayyadina Sheeth (عليه السلام‎) lived mainly on mountains and in caves. Allah decreed that the menfolk of Sayyadina Sheeth (عليه السلام‎) be handsome, whilst their womenfolk were plain. On the other hand, the womenfolk of Qaabil were beautiful and their menfolk plain. Iblees, always lying in wait, seized the opportunity of allowing some evil elements within them to mix at the river and be unlawfully attracted to each other. “Let beauty marry beauty,” they said. Due to free-mixing of the sexes, the first incidents of fornication and adultery took place. (Tarikh al-Rusul wal-Muluk of Ibn Jarir at-Tabari, vol. 1, page 198)
 
Day 33: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

33 Provide some physical features of our greatest grandfather, Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎)?
 
He was big, he was tall, he was very old when he very slowly got very old, likely dark skinned (dark mud origins), he was a farmer and hunter therefore likely of muscular physique, was most likely hairy (no mach 3 turbo), most likely uncircumcized since that ruling came to Ibrahim pbuh and his descendents and followers, very much an independent thinker, maybe a little too unwisely independent since Allah(swt) says that He found no firm resolve ('azm) in him (pbuh).

God knows the rest, maybe some scholars+/historians collected some narrations that were inspired to the Prophets about him, and collected some other historical hearsay of which they have no certainty but information which they felt was worth penning whilst still circulating.
Brother Khalid, :) i believe you do sometimes raise your eyebrows and wonder what on earth they must have based their statements on.
