Shesh means “The Gift Of GOD”. Shesh was the third son of Adam (A.S). Shesh (A.S) was born when Qabel (Cain) killed Habeel (Abel). Age of Adam at Shesh’s birth was 130 years. Prophet Adam(A.S) was ill for eleven days before he died, and ADAM (A.S) was 230 years old when shesh (A.S) was born. Prophet Adam passed a will to his son Shesh(A.S), ordering him to keep it saved from Cain and Cain’s son, due to their envy. Prophet Shesh (A.S) lived in Makkah and performed Hajj and Umrah and stayed there until he died. The last prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was from the generation of the prophet shesh (A.S).
ALLAH gave the Revelation to Shesh (A.S) after the death of Adam. After Adam's death, his son Shesh(A.S) took over the responsibilities of prophethood. 50 heavenly scriptures were descended upon him.
Ibn Hibban narrated by that:
“ Abu Dharr al-Ghifariyy heard this from Prophet Muhammad. Shesh conveyed the message of Islam to the people, telling the people the correct belief in God and the way to perform acceptable worship. All the humans were Muslim at that time, but still God gave the Revelation to Shesh, and he taught and reminded the people.”
Muhammad Ibn Ishaq related that:
“when Adam's death drew near, he appointed his son Shesh to be his successor, and taught him the hours of the day and night along with their appropriate acts of worship. He also foretold to him about the flood that would come.”
Abu Dhar narrated that:
“ Prophet Muhammad said: "Allah sent down one hundred four psalms, of which fifty were sent down to Seth."
