Wasu Musulmi kan nuna matuƙar shakka idan suka karanta hadisin:

Some Muslims react with extreme skepticism when they read the hadith:

Waɗannan Musulmi suna son sanin menene hujjar cewa Adam da mutane suna da wannan tsayi. Tambaya ce mai ban dariya, domin idan kai Musulmi ne, hujjar ita ce hadisi sahihi. Wannan ita ce hujja. Dalilin da zai sa mutum ya ga cewa ba hujja ba ce kawai shi ne idan yana shakka game da dukkan hadisai gaba ɗaya. A irin wannan yanayi, mutum ne mai ruɗani kuma yana da manyan abubuwan da ya kamata ya damu da su fiye da tsayin Adam. Ko kuwa yana ɗaukar ra'ayin masana kimiyya na yanzu a matsayin tushe mafi inganci na ilimi game da tsayin Adam fiye da hadisi sahihi. A wannan yanayi, yana nufin ko dai Annabi ﷺ ya kwatanta tsayinsa ba daidai ba, ko kuma masu ruwaito hadisin sun yi kuskure. Kuma idan aka duba rubutun hadisin da kuma gaskiyar cewa an ambaci tsayin Adam a hadisai sahihai da dama, kuskuren zai kasance babba sosai.

These Muslims want to know what is the evidence of Adam and humans being this height? It is a funny question because, if you are a Muslim, the evidence is the sahih hadith. That is the evidence. The only reason you would think that that is not evidence is if you are generally skeptical of all hadith, in which case you are just a confused person and have bigger things to worry about than the height of Adam, or you take current scientific consensus as a sounder source of knowledge about the height of Adam than sahih hadith, in which case, you think either the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم misdescribed his height or that the hadith transmitters made a mistake — and given the text of the hadith and the fact that the height of Adam is mentioned in multiple sahih hadith, it would have to have been a pretty extensive mistake.

Za mu iya yin nazari kan dukkan wannan. Da farko, ya kamata mu lura cewa ba mu ɗaukar matsayar kimiyya ta yanzu a matsayin abin da ya dace a yawancin abubuwan da aka bayyana a cikin hadisi. Ka yi tunani a kan Isra'i da Mi'raj. Ko kuma kowane ɗaya daga cikin mu'ujizozin annabawa. Ka yi tunani a kan kowace alamar Ranar Alkiyama, misali Ya'juj da Ma'juj, da sauransu. Kuma idan kana da matsala da hadisi, to ka yi la'akari da kowane al'amari da abubuwan da aka ambata a cikin Alkur'ani. To, idan matsayar kimiyya ta yanzu ba ta dace da waɗannan batutuwa ba, me ya sa ba zato ba tsammani ta zama mai yanke hukunci gaba ɗaya idan ana maganar tsayin Adamu?

We can evaluate all this. First, we should note that we don’t take current scientific consensus as relevant when it comes to many things described in hadith. Think of Al-Isra wal-mi`raj. Or any of the miracles of the prophets. Think of any of the signs of the Day of Judgment, e.g., ya’juj and ma’juj, etc. And if you have a problem with hadith, then consider any of the events and things mentioned in the Quran. So, if current scientific consensus is not germane to any of these topics, why is it suddenly so all-determinative when it comes to the height of Adam?
