AsSalamo Alaikum wra
Dear brothers in Islam,
Here are some of the explanation of the Hadith quoted by Tanveer Pasha.
Adam (a.s) took Prophet Mohamed's wasila
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: Is this true?
There is absolutely no truth to this fabrication and myth that the repentance of Prophet Adam (a.s.) was only accepted after he made the supplication using the 'waseela' of Prophet Mohamed (saws)! This false notion of Prophet Adam (a.s.) using the 'waseela' of Prophet Mohammed (saws) is absolutely against the guidance and teachings of the Holy Quran, where Allah Subhanah has clearly and exactly mentioned what Prophet Adam (a.s.) prayed in his supplication in seeking forgiveness from the Merciful Lord.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verses 36-37:
36 Then did Satan make them slip from the (garden) and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been. We said: "Get ye down all (ye people) with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time."
37 Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration and his Lord turned toward him; for He is Oft-Returning Most Merciful.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraaf verses 22-23:
22 So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree their shame became manifest to them and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you that satan was an avowed enemy unto you?"
23 They said: "O our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: if Thou forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost."
Thus, in light of the above clear Aayahs of the Glorious Quran, it is absolutely clear that Prophet Adam (a.s.) learnt the exact words of the supplication from Allah Subhanah, and the Merciful Lord accepted their repentance and forgave them.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan

Praise be to Allaah.
The hadeeth about Adam committing a sin and seeking to draw closer to Allaah by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is a fabricated hadeeth which is falsely attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and to Adam (peace be upon him).
We have stated that in the answer to question no. 34715, where we quoted the scholars' comments on the falseness of this hadeeth. These scholars include Imam al-Dhahabi (may Allaah have mercy on him).
Al-Bayhaqi (may Allaah have mercy on him) did not narrate this hadeeth in his Sunan, rather he narrated it in Dalaa'il al-Nubuwwah (5/489), where he classed it as da'eef (weak). After quoting the hadeeth, he said: "It was narrated only by 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam, and he is da'eef."
What makes it most likely that the text is false is the fact that the du'aa' by which Allaah accepted Adam's repentance is what is mentioned in Soorat al-A'raaf, where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"They said: 'Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers'"
[al-A'raaf 7:23]
This is the supplication of Adam and Hawwa', in which they called upon Allaah alone, and sought to draw close to Him (tawassul) by His names and attributes, and by mentioning their situation. These are words which Adam received from his Lord, then he said them and Allaah accepted his repentance, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Then Adam received from his Lord Words. And his Lord pardoned him (accepted his repentance). Verily, He is the One Who forgives (accepts repentance), the Most Merciful"
[al-Baqarah 2:37]

34715: Falseness of the hadeeth about Adam praying by virtue of Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon them both)
I read this hadeeth and I would like to know whether it is saheeh or not.
"When Adam committed his sin, he said, 'O Lord, I ask You by virtue of Muhammad to forgive me.' Allaah said, 'O Adam, how do you know of Muhammad when I have not yet created him?' He said, 'O Lord, when You created me with Your own hand, and breathed into me the soul that You created, I raised my head and saw written on the pillars of the Throne, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Muhammad Rasool Allaah [There is no god but Allaah, Muhammadi s the messenger of Allaah]. Then I knew that You would not mention in conjunction with Your name any but the most beloved of Your creation to You.' Allaah said, 'You have spoken the truth, O Adam. He is indeed the most beloved of My creation to Me. Pray to me by virtue of Him, for I have forgiven you. Were it not for Muhammad, I would not have created you.'".
Praise be to Allaah.
This hadeeth is mawdoo' (fabricated). It was narrated by al-Haakim via 'Abd-Allaah ibn Muslim al-Fahri (who said), Ismaa'eel ibn Muslimah narrated to us, 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam told us, from his father, from his grandfather, from 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him), that he said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "When Adam committed his sin…" Then he quoted the hadeeth as the questioner quoted it.
Al-Haakim said: The isnaad of this hadeeth is saheeh.
This is what al-Haakim said! But a number of scholars rebuked him and denounced him for classing this hadeeth as saheeh. They ruled that this hadeeth is false and fabricated, and they pointed out that al-Haakim contradicted himself when commenting on this hadeeth.
There follow some of their comments:
Al-Dhahabi said, criticizing the words of al-Haakim quoted above:
Rather it is mawdoo' (fabricated), and 'Abd al-Rahmaan is not reliable, and I do not know who 'Abd-Allaah ibn Muslim al-Fahri is.
Al-Dhahabi also said in Meezaan al-I'tidaal: It is a false report.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar agreed with him in Lisaan al-Meezaan.
Al-Bayhaqi said:
'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam is the only one who narrated it with this isnaad, and he is da'eef (weak). Ibn Katheer agreed with him in al-Bidaayah wa'l-Nihayyah, 2/323.
Al-Albaani said in al-Silsilah al-Da'eefah, 25: (it is) mawdoo'.
Al-Haakim himself (may Allaah forgive him) accused 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd of being a fabricator of hadeeth, so how could his hadeeth be saheeh?
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said in al-Qaa'idah al-Jaleelah fi'l-Tawassul wa'l-Waseelah (p. 69):
Al-Haakim's narration of this hadeeth is something for which he was denounced, and he himself said in his book al-Madkhil ila Ma'rifat al-Saheeh 'an al-Saqeem:
'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam narrated fabricated ahaadeeth from his father, and it is obvious to any competent hadeeth scholar that he is the one to blame for fabricating ahaadeeth. I say: 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam is da'eef (weak) because he made a lot of mistakes.
See Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Da'eefah by al-Albaani, 1/38-47.
