عَبَايَةُ بْنُ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
[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.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ قَسَمَ الْخَلَائِقَ قَسْمَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمَا قَسْمًا أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ وَأَنَا خَيْرُ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْقَسْمَيْنِ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمَا بَيْتًا فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ؟ وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ؟ وَالسَّابَقِونَ السَّابِقُونَ} فَأَنَا مِنْ خَيْرِ السَّابِقِينَ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْبَيْتَ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهَا قَبِيلَةً فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ} الْآيَةُ فَأَنَا أَتْقَى وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَأَكْرَمُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ وَلَا فَخْرَ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْقَبَائِلَ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهَا بَيْتًا فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا}
