حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، قَالَا: ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: أَتَى نَاسٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا نَسْمَعُ مِنْ قَوْمٍ جَفَاءً، يَقُولُ الْقَائِلُ مِنْهُمْ: إِنَّمَا مِثْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمِثْلِ نَخْلَةٍ نَبَتَتْ فِي كِبَاءٍ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، مَنْ أَنَا؟» قَالُوا: أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ، قَالَ: «أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ - فَمَا سَمِعْنَاهُ يَنْتَمِي قَبْلَهَا - إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ، فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ قَبَائِلَ، فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ قَبِيلَةً، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ بَيْتٍ، فَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا، وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Muttalib bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him): Some people from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, we hear harsh words from some people; one of them says: 'The example of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is only like a date palm that has grown on a rubbish heap.'" Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said: "O people, who am I?" They said: "You are the Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abd al-Muttalib" - the narrator said: We had never heard him trace his lineage like this before - "Indeed, Allah created His creation and placed me among the best of His creation. Then He divided them into two groups and placed me in the better group. Then He made them into tribes and placed me in the best of their tribes. Then He made them into households and placed me in the best household. So I am the best of you in household and the best of you in person."
