A Brief Description of the Question:
Was Hazrat Adam (AS) created circumcised? Are there any prophets who were born circumcised?
The Answer:
According to the riwayah, some of the prophets were born circumcised. The number of them is ten or seventeen. Imam Suyuti expressed some of them in a poem.
They are Adam, Seth (Sheeth), Nooh (Noah), Shem (Sam), Idris (Enoch), Musa (Moses), Saleh, Loot, Yusuf (Joseph), Shuaib (Jethro), Yunus (Jonah), Sulayman (Solomon), Yahya (John) and Eesa (Jesus Christ). The poem ends with "Khatam", which refers to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
See for the information about the Prophet (PBUH) being born circumcised. Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddima, Istanbul 1970, II/400; Cevdet Pasha, Qisas al Anbiya, Istanbul 1972, I/59).
According to some riwayahs, his grandfather circumcised the Prophet (PBUH) on the seventh day of his birth by giving a feast.
It is possible to be born circumcised; as a matter of fact, nowadays such events are frequently seen.
