It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that it reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that some people had spoken indecently and inappropriately about his lineage. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit and said: O people, tell me! Who am I? The companions replied: You (peace and blessings be upon him) are the Messenger of Allah. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am Muhammad, son of Abdullah, son of Abdul Muttalib. When Allah Almighty created the creation, He made me in the best group of mankind. He made tribes, so He placed me in the best tribe. He made their households, so He placed me in the best household. In terms of household and my own self (that is, in every respect), I am the best among you all.
