can one of the taalibul 'ilm check if this hadeeth is saheeh:
imam ahmad has narrated from aboo musa, who said that the prophet ( ) said:
"Allaah has created Adam from a handful (soil) which He had gathered from all over the earth. That is how the children of Adam came according to the (colour and nature of the) earth. There are white among them, as well as red and black, and cross colours. There are those among them who are of bad nature and good nature, soft as well as harsh and in between".

Wa alaikum as sallam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu
Sheikh Al-Albani (rahimahullah) declares the hadeeth authentic in Saheeh Al-Jaami' As-Sagheer wa-Ziyadatuhu (No. 1759) as well as in Silsalatul-Ahaadeeth-as-Saheehah (No. 1630).
