✧ While we were sitting in the courtyard of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a woman passed by. A man from the group said, 'This is the daughter of Muhammad.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The likeness of Muhammad among the Banu Hashim is that of sweet basil in the midst of figs.' The woman went and informed the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ came out with anger recognizable on his face and said: 'What is the matter with statements that reach me from certain people? Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, created the heavens and chose the highest, and He settled therein whom He willed of His creation. Then He created the creation and chose from the creation the children of Adam, and He chose from the children of Adam the Arabs, and He chose from the Arabs Mudar, and He chose from Mudar Quraysh, and He chose from Quraysh the Banu Hashim, and He chose me from the Banu Hashim. Thus I am from the Banu Hashim, from the best to the best. Whoever loves the Arabs, it is out of love for me that he loves them; and whoever hates the Arabs, it is out of hatred for me that he hates them.' It has been said regarding this chain of narration, on the authority of Muhammad b. Dhakwan, from 'Amr b. Dinar, from 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar.

هذا لا أعلم يرويه غير محمد بن ذكوان وعامة ما يرويه إفرادات وغرائب ومع ضعفه يكتب حديثه
machine translationI do not know anyone who narrates this other than Muḥammad b. Dhakwān. Most of what he narrates consists of isolated reports (ifrādāt) and strange reports (gharāʾib). Despite his weakness, his hadith is written down.

وهذا الحديث يعرف بحماد بن واقد وعامة ما يرويه مما لا يتابعه الثقات عليه
machine translationThis hadith is known through Ḥammād b. Wāqid, and most of what he narrates is of a kind in which the trustworthy narrators (thiqāt) do not corroborate him.
