حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ: أَتَى نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا نَسْمَعُ (١) مِنْ قَوْمِكَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ مِنْهُمْ: إِنَّمَا مِثْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِثْلُ نَخْلَةٍ نَبَتَتْ فِي كِبَا - قَالَ حُسَيْنٌ: الْكِبَا: الْكُنَاسَةُ -. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، مَنْ أَنَا؟ ". قَالُوا: أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ. قَالَ: " أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ - قَالَ: فَمَا سَمِعْنَاهُ قَطُّ يَنْتَمِي قَبْلَهَا - أَلَا إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ، فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ، ثُمَّ فَرَّقَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ قَبِيلَةً، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا، فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ بَيْتًا، وَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا " (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some Ansari people came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “We hear many things from your people; they even say that the example of Muhammad (ﷺ) is like that of a tree that has grown in rubbish.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O people! Who am I?” They said, “You are the Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “In terms of lineage, I am Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib. We had not seen the Prophet (ﷺ) attributing himself in this way before. When Allah Almighty created His creation, He placed me in the best of His creation. Then He divided them into two parts and placed me in the best part of them. Then He divided them into tribes and placed me in the best tribe. Then He divided them into families and placed me in the best family, and I am the best among you in terms of family and lineage.” Peace and blessings be upon him.
