It is narrated from Hazrat Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some Ansari people came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said,“We hear many things from your people; they even say that the example of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is like that of a tree that has grown in rubbish.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“O people! Who am I?”They said,“You are the Messenger of Allah.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“In terms of lineage, I am Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib. We had not seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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.
