The Prophet was from the best of the children of Hashim and the noble fabric of the Koraysh. He was descended from the most noble and mighty of Arabs not only on his father's side but also on his mother's. He was from the people of Mecca, the most noble of lands in the Sight of Allah and His worshipers.
Prophet Abraham and Lady Haggar were the great ancestors of Prophet Muhammad . Referring to the blessing of his nobility the Prophet Abu Hurayrah narrates that he said, "I was sent from the best of each consecutive generation of the children of Adam until I appeared in the generation I am from."
(Shaykh Darwish added: Prophet Abraham had two wives, Ladies Sarah and Haggar. Prophet Muhammad is descended from the union of Prophet Abraham and Lady Haggar. Lady Haggar, was the virgin daughter of the king of Ain Shams in Egypt. Upon the death of her father she went to live in the court of pharaoh's wife and was known for her upright and delicate character.
Lady Sarah was protected by Allah from the evil intentions of an Egyptian pharaoh who then realized Lady Sarah was a lady of noble character and thought that Haggar would be a perfect companion for Sarah and so it was that the virgin Haggar came to live as a companion to Sarah in the household of Abraham. Haggar was a sweet natured lady, she loved Lady Sarah dearly and a very special friendship bonded them together).
Al Abbas tells us that the Prophet 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 their houses. I am the best of them in person, and the best house."
Waila Aska's son tells of the time the Prophet spoke of his lineage saying, "Allah chose Ishmael from the children of Abraham, and from the children of Ishmael He chose the children of Kinanah, then from the children of Kinanah He chose the Koraysh and chose the children of Hashim from the Koraysh, then He chose me from the children of Hashim."
