From Adam's Descent

قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتنِي وَرَجَوْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْك وَلَا أُبَالِي،

Allah, the Exalted, said: "O son of Adam! As long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.

آدَمَ Adam

As the owner in 'son of Adam,' this name should show the possessive -i, but it belongs to a class of names that refuse the light 'n' and show -a where -i is expected. That odd-looking ending is a regular feature of certain names — worth recognizing on sight.

From The Vastness of God's Mercy

يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُك عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك،

O son of Adam! If your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you were to ask for My forgiveness, I would forgive you.

آدَمَ Adam

Adam again shows the tell-tale -a where the possessive -i is expected — its class of names rejects the ordinary endings. It owns 'son' in the pair.

From The Vastness of God's Mercy

يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إنَّك لَوْ أتَيْتنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَأَتَيْتُك بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً

O son of Adam! Were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, not associating anything with Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.

آدَمَ Adam

Adam, owner of 'son,' once again wears -a instead of the expected possessive -i because its name-class blocks the normal endings. A small irregularity worth knowing on sight.

From The Vastness of God's Mercy

قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ما ملأ ابن آدم وعاء شرا من بطنه،

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: A human fills no container worse than his stomach.

آدَمَ Adam

This is the owner in 'son of Adam', a proper name in the genitive to complete the pairing; the whole phrase is a fixed way of saying 'a human'. The name is fixed in form as a foreign noun.

From The One-Third Rule

يحسب ابن آدم أكلات يقمن صلبه،

A human needs only a few bites that sustain his spine.

آدَمَ Adam

This is the owner in 'son of Adam', a proper name in the genitive completing the pairing that stands for 'a human'. The name keeps a fixed foreign form.

From The One-Third Rule

يَقُول الله يَا ابْن آدم إِنَّمَا هِيَ ارْبَعْ وَاحِدَة لي وَوَاحِدَة لَك وَوَاحِدَة بيني وَبَيْنك وَوَاحِدَة بَيْنك وَبَين خلقي

Allah says, 'O son of Adam, there are four things: one for Me, one for you, one between Me and you, and one between you and My creation.'

آدَمَ of Adam

This is the owner closing the pairing, 'of Adam', a name placed straight after 'son' with no word for 'of'. Even a proper name takes the genitive ending here, marking it as the one the son belongs to.

From Worship and Repentance

فيقول بعض الناس لبعض أبوكم آدم، ويأتونه فيقولون يا آدم أنت أبو البشر، خلقك الله بيده، ونفخ فيك من روحه، وأمر الملائكة، فسجدوا لك وأسكنك الجنة،

Some of the people will say to others: "Your father Adam," and they will go to him and say: "O Adam, you are the father of humanity. Allah created you with His hand, breathed into you of His spirit, commanded the angels, and they prostrated to you and placed you in Paradise."

آدَمُ Adam

A proper name standing in apposition to 'your father' just before it, spelling out who that father is. The two words refer to the same person, so this name simply pins down the identity of the noun it follows.

From The Prophet's Intercession

فيقول بعض الناس لبعض أبوكم آدم، ويأتونه فيقولون يا آدم أنت أبو البشر، خلقك الله بيده، ونفخ فيك من روحه، وأمر الملائكة، فسجدوا لك وأسكنك الجنة،

Some of the people will say to others: "Your father Adam," and they will go to him and say: "O Adam, you are the father of humanity. Allah created you with His hand, breathed into you of His spirit, commanded the angels, and they prostrated to you and placed you in Paradise."

آدَمُ Adam

A proper name standing as the one being called, right after the calling particle. It is the addressee of the speech, set in the form a vocative takes, so the words together open the direct address to him.
