[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah created Adam from the clay of the entire earth, so his descendants emerged accordingly. Among them are the white, the black, the dark-skinned, and the red-skinned. And among them are those in between. Among them are those who are righteous and those who are corrupt. Among them are the good and the evil.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ خَلَقَ اللهُ آدَمَ مِنْ أَدِيمِ الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا فَخَرَجَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمُ الْأَبْيَضُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ وَالْأَسْمَرُ وَالْأَحْمَرُ وَمِنْهُمْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَمِنْهُمُ السَّهْلُ وَالْحَزْنُ وَالْخَبِيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ
