Allama Zarkashi writes about the hadith (کنت نبیا و آدم بین الماء والطین): It is not known with these words, but this meaning has occurred in several other traditions:

میسرۃ المفخرۃ قلت: یا رسول اللہ متی کنت نبیاً، قال: کنت نبیا و آدم بین الروح والجسد (أحمد و البخاری في تاریخہ ابن السکن وغیرہ والحاکم في المستدرک 2:608، صححہ ووافقہ الذھبی) وعن أبي ھریرۃ رضي اللہ عنہ قالوا: یا رسول اللہ متی وحیت لک النبوۃ، قال: و آدم بین الروح والجسد، ترمذي صحیح غریب مناقب و صححہ الحاکم 2:609، انظر المقاصد الحسنۃ 325)
