Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been sent (as an Apostle) in the best of all the generations of Adam's offspring since their Creation." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3557)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ بُعِثْتُ فِي خَيْرِ قُرُونِ بَنِي آدَمَ قَرْنًا فَقَرْنًا حَتَّى كُنْتُ مِنَ الْقَرْنِ الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ
