adam repentance muhammad waseela

Many Muslims have heard the story that Prophet Adam (عليه السلام) repented by saying “I ask You by the right of Muhammad ﷺ”. Is this true? This detailed article examines the claim using the Quran, authentic tafsīr, and hadith grading, and statements of the scholars. Conclusion: the famous narrations are fabricated/weak, and Adam’s repentance was accepted directly through words taught by Allah – without any waseela of Muhammad ﷺ or the Ahl al-Bayt.
