Bismillah,

What is the story about the mountain in Sri Lanka called Adam's peak
which some claim has the footprint(1metre long at its peak) of Prophet
Adam? Some Muslims and Christians say this.
Hindus claim it belongs to one of their Gods and Buddhists place
Buddhas claim on it. To this day 1000s of worshippers from all faiths visit
the site.
Is there any hadith, islamic literature that remotely mentions Adam's
peak? Was Sri Lanka the first spot on Earth he desended on?
Allah knows best.

jazzakallah khair

Bismillah and salam,
The only mention I know I heard from shaikh Tariq Swaidan when he said that the Adam was braught here on the mountain called "Rudhwan" and it was in India (back then it was a lot bigger geography ofcourse) and that this mountain is the lushest in the world.
