[Machine] "Some of the Ansar said to the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , 'We hear people from the Quraysh saying that the likeness of Muhammad is like a palm tree that grew in a valley.' So the Prophet, ﷺ , asked them, 'Who am I?' They replied, 'You are the Messenger of Allah.' He then said, 'I am Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib.' They asked, 'What did we hear you say before?' He said, 'Indeed, Allah created His creatures and divided them into two groups, and He made me from the best of the two groups. He then made them into tribes, and He made me from the best of them, a noble tribe. So I am the best of you in lineage and the best of you in soul."
أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا نَسْمَعُ مِنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّمَا مِثْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِثْلُ نَخْلَةٍ أُنْبِتَتْ فِي كِبَاءٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ أَنَا» ؟ قَالُوا أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالُوا فَمَا سَمِعْنَاهُ انْتَمَى قَبْلَهَا قَطُّ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ» اللهَ خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ فَرَقَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ قَبِيلَةً فَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا
