حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ قَالَ قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بَلَغَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنَا قَالُوا أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ وَجَعَلَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ فِرْقَةٍ وَخَلَقَ الْقَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ قَبِيلَةٍ وَجَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ بَيْتًا فَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1788
It was narrated that al- Muttalib bin Abu Wada'ah said: al- ' Abbas said: The Prophet (PBUH) heard of some of what the people were saying, so he ascended the minbar and said: "Who am I?” They said: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: "I am Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib. Allah created creation and He made me among the best of His creation. Then He made them into two groups, and He put me in the best group. And He created tribes, and He put me in the best tribe. And He made them families, and He put me in the best family. So I am the best of you in family and the best of you as an individual."
