حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا جَلَسُوا فَتَذَاكَرُوا أَحْسَابَهُمْ، فَجَعَلُوا مَثَلَكَ مَثَلَ نَخْلَةٍ فِي كَبْوَةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ نِصْفَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْقَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ قَبِيلَةٍ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْبُيُوتَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ بُيُوتِهِمْ، فَأَنَا خَيْرُهُمْ نَفْسًا، وَخَيْرُهُمْ بَيْتًا

✧ I said: "O Messenger of Allah, the Quraysh sat together and mentioned their lineages, and they made your example like a palm tree in a barren patch of land." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, created the creation into two halves, and placed me in the better of them. Then He divided them into two groups, and placed me in the better group. Then He created the tribes, and placed me in the best tribe. Then He created the houses, and placed me in the best of their houses. So I am the best of them in person and the best of them in household."
