﴿ وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًۭا مِّن صَلْصَٰلٍۢ مِّنْ حَمَإٍۢ مَّسْنُونٍۢ ﴾

“And lo! Thy Sustainer said unto the angels: "Behold, I am about to create mortal man out of sounding clay, out of dark slime transmuted;”

(And (remember) when thy Lord said unto the angels) who were on the earth, there were 10,000 of them: (Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter's clay of black mud altered) of stinking mud.
