Some Islamic traditions mention an enigmatic daughter of Adam named ʿAnāq. Little is known about her; for example, the corresponding entry in the Encyclopaedia of Islam simply states that ʿAnāq is the “name given by the Arabs to the daughter of Adam, the twin sister of Seth, wife of Cain and mother of ʿŪd̲j̲.” ʿAnāq is always mentioned in relation to her son, the giant ʿŪj, who was supposed to be the only creature outside the Ark to have survived the Flood in the time of Noah, and who was assumed to have been killed by Moses. We gather here the information and traditions about the Islamic ʿAnāq in order to draw a more coherent and historically contextualized portrait of this legendary first witch.

一些伊斯兰教的传统提到亚当的一个神秘女儿，名叫“阿纳克”。对她知之甚少。例如，《伊斯兰百科全书》中相应的条目仅说明：“阿纳克语”是“阿拉伯人给亚当的女儿亚当的名字，塞斯的孪生姐妹，该隐的妻子，该隐的母亲，该隐的母亲。” 人们经常提到anāq与其儿子巨人ʿŪj有关，whoj被认为是挪亚方舟时期唯一在洪水中幸存下来的生物，并被假定已被摩西杀死。我们在这里收集有关伊斯兰教ʿanāq的信息和传统，以便为这个传说中的第一个女巫绘制更加连贯且具有历史背景的肖像。
