وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ : أَتَى نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالُوا : إِنَّا نَسْمَعُ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ مِنْهُمْ : إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مَثَلَ نَخْلَةٌ نَبَتَتْ فِي الْكِبَا - قَالَ حُسَيْنٌ : الْكِبَا : الْكُنَاسَةُ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، مَنْ أَنَا ؟ " . قَالُوا : أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : " أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ " . قَالَ : فَمَا سَمِعْنَاهُ يَنْتَمِي قَبْلَهَا " إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ فَرَّقَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ قَبِيلَةً ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ بَيْتًا ، فَأَنَا خَيْرُهُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُهُمْ نَفْسًا " . - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . قُلْتُ : رَوَى لَهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ حَدِيثًا غَيْرَ هَذَا . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Abd al-Muttalib bin Rabi'ah bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib states: Some people from the Ansar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "We have heard people of your tribe talking, to the point that one of them said: 'The example of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is like a date palm that grows in a rubbish heap.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people, who am I?" The people said: "You are the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abd al-Muttalib." The narrator says: We had never heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) state his lineage like this before. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Behold! Allah Almighty created His creation, then divided that creation into two groups and placed me in the better of the two groups. Then He divided them into tribes and placed me in the best tribe among them. Then He divided them into households and placed me in the best household among them. So I am the best of them all in household, and the best of them all in person." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Al-Tirmidhi recorded a different narration from this person.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
