[Machine] Some people from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we hear from a group of people who say that the likeness of Muhammad is like that of a palm tree that has grown in barren land." So 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 bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Muttalib. Before this, we did not hear anyone claim such a thing. Verily, Allah created His creation and made me amongst the best of His creation. Then He divided them into two groups and made me amongst the best of the two groups. Then He made them into tribes and made me amongst the best of them. Then He made them into houses and made me amongst the best of them. So I am the best of you in terms of lineage and the best of you in terms of soul."
أَتَى نَاسٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نَسْمَعُ مِنْ قَوْمٍ جَفَاءً يَقُولُ الْقَائِلُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّمَا مِثْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمِثْلِ نَخْلَةٍ نَبَتَتْ فِي كِبَاءٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ أَنَا؟» قَالُوا أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ «أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَمَا سَمِعْنَاهُ يَنْتَمِي قَبْلَهَا إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ قَبِيلَةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ بَيْتٍ فَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا»
