"إِنَّ الله -تَعَالى- قَسَمَ الْخَلقَ قِسْمينِ فَجَعَلَنِى فِي خْيرِهِما قسْمًا، فَذلِكَ قَوْلُه تَعَالى: {وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ} {وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ} فَأَنا مِنْ أصْحَاب الْيَمِينِ، وَأنَا مِن خَيرِ أصْحَابِ اليمين، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْقسْمَين بيُوتًا فَجَعَلَني في خَيرِهما بيتًا، فَذَلك قَوْلُهُ {فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيمَنَةِ (8) وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ (9) وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ} فَأنا مِن خيرِ السَّابِقِين، ثُمَّ جَعَل البُيُوتَ قَبَائِلَ، فَجَعَلنى في خَيرِها قَبيلةً، فَذلِك قَولُهُ {شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ} فَأَنَا أَتْقَى وَلَد آدَمَ وأَكرَمُهُمْ عَلَى الله ﷻ، وَلَا فخْر، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْقَبَائِلَ بُيُوتًا فجَعَلنِي فِي خَيرِهَا بَيتًا فَذَلِك قَوْلُهُ. إِنَّما يُرِيدُ الله لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أهْلَ الْبَيتِ ويُطهِّرَكُمْ تَطهِيرا ".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, Allah has divided the creation into two groups, and He has made me among the best of them, the group of the people of the right. And I am the best among the people of the right. Then He divided these two groups into houses, and He made me among the best of them, the house of the people of the right. That is His saying, 'So what is the people of the right? And what is the people of the left? And the foremost of the foremost?' So I am among the best of the foremost. Then He made the houses into tribes, and He made me among the best of them, a tribe. That is His saying, 'Nations and tribes.' So I am the most righteous and honorable of the children of Adam in the sight of Allah, and there is no arrogance in that. Then He made the tribes into houses, and He made me among the best of them, a house. That is His saying, 'Indeed, Allah wants to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you with thorough purification.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah has divided the creation into two parts and placed me in the best part. That is His saying, 'And the companions of the right hand' and 'And the companions of the left hand.' So I am among the companions of the right hand, and I am among the best of the companions of the right hand. Then He divided the two parts into houses and placed me in the best of them. That is His saying, 'So the companions of the right hand - what are the companions of the right hand? And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? And the forerunners, the forerunners.' So I am among the best of the forerunners. Then He made the houses into tribes and placed me in the best of them. That is His saying, 'Nations and tribes.' So I am the most righteous of the children of Adam and the most honored among them before Allah ﷻ, without any pride. Then He made the tribes into houses and placed me in the best of them. That is His saying, 'Indeed, Allah wants to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you with purification.'"
