حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ زُرَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَاهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا قَسَامَةُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْضَةٍ قَبَضَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ بَنُو آدَمَ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْأَرْضِ جَاءَ مِنْهُمُ الْأَحْمَرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَبْيَضُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَسْوَدُ وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَالسَّهْلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْحَزْنُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْخَبِيثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالطَّيِّبُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَالْإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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.
