Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of my hand and said, "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the earth on Saturday, the mountains on Sunday, the trees on Monday, the things entailing labour on Tuesday, light on Wednesday, He spread out animals of all kinds on Thursday, and created Adam in the afternoon on Friday, and it was the last hour of Friday between the afternoon and the night." <b>[Muslim]</b>.

وعنه قال‏:‏ أخذ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيدي فقال‏:‏ ‏

‏خلق الله التربة يوم السبت، وخلق فيها الجبال يوم الأحد، وخلق الشجر يوم الأثنين وخلق المكروه يوم الثلاثاء، وخلق النور يوم الأربعاء، وبث فيها الدواب يوم الخميس، وخلق آدم صلى الله عليه وسلم بعد العصر من يوم الجمعة في آخر الخلق في آخر ساعة من النهار فيما بين العصر إلى الليل‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Yet, for a profoundly wise reason, He created them gradually.<br> 2) Allah Almighty honored Adam (peace be upon him) by creating him on the best day and at the best time.
