✧ Some people from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, we hear harsh words from some people; one of them says: 'The likeness of Muhammad is only that of a palm tree that grew in a dung heap.'” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and said: “O people, who am I?” They said: “You are the Messenger of Allah.” He said: “I am Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah b. 'Abd al-Muttalib. We never heard him trace his lineage before that. Allah created His creation and placed me among the best of His creation. Then He divided them into two groups and placed me in the better group. Then He made them into tribes and placed me among the best of them as a tribe. Then He made them into households and placed me in the best household. So I am the best of you in household and the best of you in person.”
