RASÛLULLAH’S (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam) PARENTS, HIS GRANDFATHERS WERE ALL BELIEVERS (II)

None of the ancestors (fathers and mothers) of our Prophet ‘sall Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’, or of any other Prophet, was a disbeliever or a lowly person. ‘’alaihimussalâm’. The following are the âyat-i-kerîmas and hadîth-i-sherîfs proving our statement true:

1 – In a hadîh-i-sherîf in Bukhârî-i sherîf, the most valuable and the most correct book after the Qur’ân al-kerîm, our Prophet states: “I was born from the distinguished, the best ones of people living in every century, in every era.”

2 – In a hadîth in the book of Imâm-i Muslim, which has, of the thousands of hadîth books, won second place, Rasûlullah states: “Of the descendants of Hadrat Ismâil ‘’alaihis-salâm’, Allâhu ta’âlâ selected a person named Quraish. And of the descendants of Quraish, He selected the Hâshim Family. And among them He placed me.”

3 – In a hadîth quoted by Tirmuzî, he states: “Allâhu ta’âlâ created people. He made me from the best group of people. Then He created the best of these groups in Arabia. He made me from them. Then, choosing the best of homes, the best of families, He created me from them. Then, my soul and body are the best of creatures. My ancestors are the best people.”

4 – In a hadîth in a book by Tabarânî, one of the most valuable hadîth savants, the blessed Prophet states: “Allâhu ta’âlâ created everything out of nothing. Of all things, He liked human beings and made them valuable. Of mankind He made those whom He selected settle in Arabia. And of the distinguished in Arabia, He chose me. He placed me among the distinguished, the best of the people in every age. Then, those who love the ones in Arabia who are obedient to me, love them for my sake. Those who feel hostility towards them feel hostility towards me.” This hadîth-i sherîf is written also at the initial part of Mawâhib-i Ladunniyya.
