Did Adam’s children marry each other?!

In atheism, there is no objection to having sex with one’s sister, mother, or daughter.

During our debates with atheists, when the atheist is stuck because of this moral scandal, he resorts to citing the suspicion that the sons of Adam married their sisters!

But I respond to these atheists and say:

Originally, neither the Holy Quran nor the Sunnah mentioned that Adam’s sons married their sisters. Rather, this story is well-known among people without any evidence from the Quran or the Sunnah. This story is originally taken from the Israelite traditions.


The story that mentioned that Adam’s sons married their sisters is as follows:

[Amr bin Hammad told us: Asbat told us, on the authority of Al-Suddi - in a report he mentioned - on the authority of Abu Malik and on the authority of Abu Salih on the authority of Ibn Abbas - and on the authority of Murrah Al-Hamadani on the authority of Ibn Masoud - and on the authority of some of the Companions, he said: No child was born to Adam except that a girl was born with him, so he would marry the boy of this clan to his girl of this other clan and he would marry the girl of this clan to the boy of this other clan.]

This story ☝️ is originally a lie, as it was narrated by the following narrators:

1Asbat, he is a weak narrator.

2Al-Suddi Al-Kabeer, who is a Rafidi who curses Abu Bakr and Omar, and he is a weak narrator.

3Al-Suddi almost did not hear from the narrator Abu Salih (Bazan).

4Abu Saleh (Bazan) did not hear from Ibn Abbas according to the most correct opinion.

5We do not know who are the companions of the Prophet from whom Al-Suddi took this narration, and whether he met them!

6Most of Al-Suddi’s chains of transmission on the authority of the Companions are questionable.


So, this narration is very weak and its reliability cannot be proven in any way. Even al-Tabari himself, who narrated this narration, did not believe in its authenticity. Rather, he mentioned it for the sake of familiarity.

Even if we assume that the chain of transmission of the narration is authentic, this narration was not attributed to the Prophet himself. Rather, it is a suspended narration that was falsely attributed to the Companions, and was most likely taken from popular traditions that were widespread at the time, and not from the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.


Then the patchwork atheist cannot defend his fragile atheistic belief in the issue of:

Is it permissible to have sex with relatives in atheism or not?!

The cowardly atheist resorts to throwing doubts at his opponent instead of answering.


The strange thing is that I don’t know why atheists ask us this question and don’t ask the Jews and Christians about it
