[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah created Adam with His own Hand, and then He breathed into him (his) soul. He said to him, 'Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to what they will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your offspring.' Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (peace be upon you). The angels said, 'As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi (peace and Allah's mercy be upon you).'" So they increased 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi' (and Allah's mercy be upon you). So whoever will enter Paradise, will be of the shape and picture of Adam. Since then the creation of Adam's (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings is being diminished continuously) to the present time. (Sahih al-Bukhari 3326)
