Abu Huraira [Radhiyallahu anhu] narrated that the Prophet {sallallahu alaihi wasallam} said:- Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring. So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi (i.e. Peace and Allahs Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adams salutation the expression, Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi, Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adams creation. Sahih al Bukhari,Volume- 4, Book no-55,Book of Prophet, Hadith no- 543
