Abstract
The story of creation of Adam in history, has attracted attention of Abrahamic and especially Islamic religions and has had ontological, epistemological and also moral dimensions, as it has an important effect on believers' attitude and action . In this paper, after defining generalities of the story (creation of Adam) and lexicology of its elements and on the basis of verses, narratives and attitudes of Islamic thinkers, it is discussed whether the question (or protest) of angels regarding creation of Adam associates with their chastity or not . Based on a descriptive-analytic research, some attitudes about protesting aspect of angels' question are taken into consideration and some of the problems are discussed. Sadr ol-Motaallehin Shirazi and Allame Tabatabai's views are presented on the basis of some reasons and evidences which shows that angels' chastity and their speech has an interrogative aspect not protesting.
