Ahd-e-Alast - Nabi Aadam (‘alaihis salaam) – Part Eight
In the Qur’aan Majeed, Allah Ta‘ala says:
وَ اِذۡ اَخَذَ رَبُّکَ مِنۡۢ بَنِیۡۤ اٰدَمَ مِنۡ ظُہُوۡرِہِمۡ ذُرِّیَّتَہُمۡ وَ اَشۡہَدَہُمۡ عَلٰۤی اَنۡفُسِہِمۡ ۚ اَلَسۡتُ بِرَبِّکُمۡ ؕ قَالُوۡا بَلٰی ۚۛ شَہِدۡنَا ۚۛ اَنۡ تَقُوۡلُوۡا یَوۡمَ الۡقِیٰمَۃِ اِنَّا کُنَّا عَنۡ ہٰذَا غٰفِلِیۡنَ ﴿۱۷۲﴾ۙ
And (mention the time) when your Rabb took out from the children of Nabi Adam (‘alaihis salaam) - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify about themselves, (saying to them), “Am I not your Rabb?” They said, “Yes, we have testified.” (This is) lest you should say on the Day of Qiyaamah, “Indeed, we were unaware regarding this.” (Surah A’raaf v. 172)
