The lineage of Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, was from the best of the children of Hashim and the noble fabrics of the Koraysh. He was descended from the most noble and mighty Arabs not only on his father's side but also on his mother's.Referring to the blessing of his nobility the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, told Abu Hurayrah
"I was sent from the best of each consecutive generation of the children of Adam until I appeared in the generation in which I am from."
There are many Prophetic sayings reported by the Companions, the following are a selection: Al Abbas tells us that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said,
"Allah created the Creation and from the best of their generations He placed me among the best of them. Then He selected the tribes and placed me among the best tribe. Thereafter, He selected families and placed me among the best of them. I am the best of them in person and the best of them in family."
Waila Aska's son tells of the time the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, spoke of his lineage saying,
"Allah chose Ishmael from the children of Abraham, and from the children of Ishmael He chose the children of Kinana, then from the children of Kinana Allah chose the Koraysh and chose the children of Hashim from the Koraysh, then Allah chose me from the children of Hashim."
We are told by Omar's son that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,said
"Allah, the Mighty, the Glorified chose from His creation the children of Adam. Then from the children of Adam He chose the Arabs. Thereafter He chose from the Arabs the Koraysh. Then He chose from the Koraysh and from them He choose the children of Hashim. From the children of Hashim He chose me, and I am the best of the best. Whosoever loves the Arabs loves them because he loves of me. Whosoever hates Arabs hates them because he hates me."
Abbas' son said that the spirit of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was a light in the hands of Allah two thousand years before He created Adam. That light exalted Him and by this light the angels exalted Allah, and when Allah created Adam, He cast that light into his loins.He also tells us that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said,
"Allah brought me down to earth in the loins of Adam, then He placed me in the loins of Noah and thereafter cast me into the loins of Abraham. Allah proceeded to move me from one noble loin and pure womb to another until He brought me out of my parents. None of them were ever joined together in fornication."
