Allah mentions that He created mankind from clay, like that used in pottery,
and created the Jinns from the tip of the flame of a smokeless fire. This was
said by Ad-Dahhak from Ibn `Abbas. It was also said by `Ikrimah, Mujahid,
Al-Hasan and Ibn Zayd. Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas, "From the best part of
the fire, from its smokeless flame.'' Imam Ahmad recorded that `A'ishah said
that Allah's Messenger said,
«خُلِقَتِ
الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ نُورٍ، وَخُلِقَ الْجَانُّ مِنْ مَارِجٍ مِنْ نَارٍ، وَخُلِقَ
آدَمُ مِمَّا وُصِفَ لَكُم»
(The angels were created from light, the Jinns from a smokeless flame of
fire, and `Adam from what was described to you.) Muslim also collected this
Hadith. Allah's statement:
[فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ
رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ]
(Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) was explained
above.
