Hadith No: 1

Narrated Al-Bara:

that a man asked him. "O Abu '`Umara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He replied, "No, by Allah, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) did not flee but the hasty people fled and the people of the Tribe of Hawazin attacked them with arrows, while the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was riding his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding its reins, and the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was saying, 'I am the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) in truth, I am the son of `Abdul Muttalib.' "

I was born from between a mother and father, and nothing from the filth of ignorance (jahiliyya) touched me. I came into the world through lawful marriage, not unlawful relations, from the time of Adam until I reached my father and mother.

He said: "Only al-ʿAbbas and Abu Sufyan ibn Harb would say that if they came to Yemen to ensure our safety with that." And "we do not deny our ancestors; we are the children of al-Nuḍar ibn Kinānah." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) addressed the people and said: "I am Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib, ibn Hashim, ibn Abd Manaf, ibn Qusayy, ibn Kilab, ibn Murrat, ibn Kab ibn Lu'ayy, ibn Ghalib, ibn Fihr, ibn Malik, ibn al-Nuḍar, ibn Kinānah, ibn Khuzaymah, ibn Mudrikah, ibn Ilyas, ibn Mudar, ibn Nizar.

So I am the best of you in lineage and the best of you in fatherhood (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)."
