We have mentioned in the story of Adam, the hadith [narrated by Imam Ahmad, Tirmidhi and others] which mentioned that: “When Allah created Adam He wiped his back, so each soul to be created from Adam’s descendants until the Judgment Day would be conceived from his back (Adam’s back). Allah created a glitter of light between the eyes of each human then He showed them to Adam who then asked: ‘O Lord! Who are these?’ Allah said, ‘These are your children.’ Then Adam saw a man and liked the glitter between his eyes so he asked, ‘‘O’ Lord, who is this?’ Allah said, ‘This is a man of the latest nations of your children called David (Dawud).’ Adam then asked, ‘Lord, how many years is he going to live?’ Allah said, ‘Sixty’, Adam then said, ‘O Lord! Give him forty years of my age.’ When Adam’s days were over, the angel of death came to him. At this, Adam said, ‘I do have forty years left, don’t i?’ The angel said, ‘Didn’t you give these forty years for your son David?’ Adam denied and so did his children.’ He forgot and so did his children. He made mistakes and so did his children.”

His grave is located on a mountain somewhere between Jerusalem and Ar-Ramlah. He died 963 years prior to the start of the Christian calendar.
