Abstract

Eve the Adam's wife is the first woman that is mentioned in myths and narratives. The verses of the Quran do not explain quality of Eve's creation. Meanwhile some of traditions exist in early Hadith sources that consider Eve or generally women as being created from man or from certain limb (rib) of him. In this article, these Hadith sources having been classified and quoted, are studied and analyzed. And then after comparing with Quran and other criteria and criticism of narrator, it is proved that these traditions seem to be weak.
