Sunan Abi Dawud 4693 (Book 42, Hadith 98) #24984
The Diversity of Mankind

SUMMARY: Allah created Adam from a handful of earth, and the children of Adam are diverse in their physical characteristics, personalities, and qualities.

Abu Musa al-Ash’ari reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying : Allah created Adam from a handful which he took from the whole of the earth ; so the children of Adam are in accordance with the earth : some red, some white, some black, some a mixture, also smooth and rough, bad and good.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ زُرَيْعٍ، وَيَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَاهُمْ قَالاَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَسَامَةُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْضَةٍ قَبَضَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الأَرْضِ فَجَاءَ بَنُو آدَمَ عَلَى قَدْرِ الأَرْضِ جَاءَ مِنْهُمُ الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ وَالأَسْوَدُ وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَالسَّهْلُ وَالْحَزْنُ وَالْخَبِيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى ‏"‏ وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that Allah created mankind from a handful of earth. It also teaches us that the children of Adam are diverse in their physical characteristics, personalities, and qualities. This means that people come in different shapes and sizes with different skin colors and hair textures. People also have different personalities; some may be kind while others may be more serious or even grumpy at times! Additionally, people have different levels of intelligence or skills; some may excel at math while others might be better at sports or art. All these differences make up the diversity among mankind which is something to celebrate! We should not judge someone based on how they look but rather appreciate them for who they are as individuals with unique talents and abilities.
