بَابُ خُطْبَةٍ فِي فَضْلِ نَسَبِهِ الشَّرِيفِ وَطَيِّبِ عُنْصَرِہِ المُنِيْفِ
Chapter on a Sermon About the Virtue of His Noble Lineage and Pure Origin
Hadith 11081
قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بَلَغَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنَا قَالُوا أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ وَجَعَلَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ فِرْقَةٍ وَخَلَقَ الْقَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ قَبِيلَةٍ وَجَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ بَيْتًا فَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا
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.
