The Best of Creation

SUMMARY: Allah has chosen Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to be the best of all creation.

Al-Muttalib bin Abi Wada'ah said: "Al-'Abbas came to the Messenger of Allah and it is as if he heard something, so the Prophet stood upon the Minbar and said: 'Who am I?’ They said: 'You are the Messenger of Allah, upon you be peace.’ He said: 'I am Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, indeed Allah created the creation, and He put me in the best group of them, then He made them into two groups, so He put me in the best group of them, the He made them into tribes, so He put me in the best of tribes, then He made them into houses, so He put me in the best of them in tribe and lineage.’"
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ قَالَ جَاءَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ شَيْئًا فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنَا فَقَالُوا أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ قَالَ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ فِرْقَةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ فِرْقَةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ قَبِيلَةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرِهِمْ نَسَبًا قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the greatness and honor that Allah has bestowed upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is narrated by Al-Muttalib bin Abi Wada'ah that when Al-'Abbas came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he heard something and then the Prophet ﷺ stood upon the Minbar and said “Who am I?” The people answered “You are the Messenger of Allah, upon you be peace”. He then said “I am Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, indeed Allah created all creation and He put me in the best group among them. Then He made them into two groups so He put me in the best group among them. Then He made them into tribes so He put me in the best tribe among them. Then he made them into houses so he put me in the best house among them in terms of tribe and lineage”. This hadith shows us how much honor and respect was given to our beloved prophet ﷺ by Almighty God himself as it is clear from this hadith that God chose him to be at a higher level than anyone else from his tribe or lineage or even any other human being on earth for that matter! It also teaches us about humility as despite knowing his own greatness, our beloved prophet never boasted about it but instead always showed humility towards others which is a great lesson for us all!
