What was the first food for Hazrat Adam on Earth? 

What is Ibn Jarir view about the first food of Adam on Earth?

Ibn Jarir said: The first food Adam ate on the earth was when Gabriel came to him with seven grains of wheat. Adam asked him: “What are they?” He replied: “They are from the same Tree which you were forbidden to eat from, but you ate from it.” Adam said: “Then what shall I do now with them?” Gabriel said: “Sow them in earth.” And Adam did so. Each of those grains weighed more than one hundred thousand (grains of now) [1] . They grew, and Adam harvested them, then ground them, then kneaded them, then baked from them bread and ate them, after it had taken so much of his effort and hard work. That is what the Qur’an has indicated in this Verse:

“So do not let him expel you both from the Paradise, so that you would suffer hardship.”

Chapter 20 (Surah Taha) verse 117
