The Blessed Lineage of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad
Part-2
صلّی اللہ
علیہ وسلم
Allaah
Almighty has created Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad صلّی اللہ
علیہ وسلم in the purest and greatest of forms above all His creation and
aided him with the clearest and utmost manifest miracles. From among these
miracles is the absolutely pure lineage of best est and the Purest Ones –
Peace and Blessing be upon him and his family – for creation bears no lineage as pure and preserved as his lineage.
It is a clear miracle that not only did Allaah Almighty preserve his lineage
like non other in history (not even the other Prophets, Alaiehimus Salaam) but
decreed even further to select only those most pious and pure to bear and
transmit his pure light through the generations until we – the final nation –
were blessed with him in our lives and hearts,
Sub haan
Allaah!
THE DELICATELY CHOSEN ONE ‘AL MUSTAFA’
When we look deeper into beautiful title of the Prophet صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم -“Al-Mustafa”
المصطفى (The Delicately Chosen One), we see a further indication which shows
just how precisely and selectively Allaah Kareem filtered through those that
were the purest and best in each generation, as narrated in this beautiful Hadees:
إِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفٰى كِنَانَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيْلَ، وَاصْطَفٰى قُرَيْشًا مِنْ كِنَانَة، وَاصْطَفٰى هَاشِمًا مِنْ قُرَيْش، وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ
“Indeed,
Allaah Almighty chose [Prophet] Isma’eel علیہم السلام from among
the sons of [Prophet Ibrahim علیہم السلام , and He chose the (the clan
of) Kinanah from among the descendants of [Prophet] Isma’eel علیہم السلام
and He chose the tribe of Quraysh from among the sons of the Kinanah, and He chose the sons of Hashim from among tribes of Quraysh, and the sons of [Hazrat] Abdul-Muttalib from among the sons of Hashim; and me from among the sons of Abdul-Muttalib”
Sahih
Muslim, Tirmidhi
THE NOBLEST
AND THE BESTEST ONE
The
Holy Prophet Muhammad صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم was the honorable one sent forth by Allaah
Almighty, through the purest of generations as mentioned in the Glorious
Qur’aan when Allaah Kareem declares:
لَقَدْ
جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مِّنْ أَنْفَسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ
عَلَيْكُم بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ
“There
has certainly come to you a Messenger from the purest amongst you.
Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you [your guidance]
and to the believers is kind and merciful.”
Holy
Quran-Surah At-Taubah 9:128
عنْ اَنَسٍ
رَضِیَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَرَأَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم
{لَقْدْ جَاءَكُم رَسُوْلٌ مِنْ أَنْفَسَكُم} بِفَتْح الْفَاءِ وَقَالَ اَنَا اَنْفَسَكُمْ
نَسَبًا وَصَهْرًا وَحَسبًا
The Lineage of Our Prophet
صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم:
Paternal Lineage:
The noble lineage of Our Beloved Prophet صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم from the Paternal
side is:
Maternal
Lineage:
The noble lineage from the maternal side is:
Muhammad صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم, ibnaay Hazrat Bibi Aaminah, ibnaay Wahaab, ibnaay Abd Manaf, Ibnaay Zuhraa, Ibnaay Kilaab, Ibnaay Murrah, Iben Kaa’b, Ibnaay Lu’ayy, Ibnaay Ghaalib, Ibnaay Fihr, Ibnaay Maalik, Ibnaay Nazr, Ibnaay Kinanah, Ibnaay Khuzaymah, Ibnaay Mudrikah, Ibnaay Ilyaas, Ibnaay Muzar, Ibnaay Nizaar, Ibnaay Mua’d, Ibnaay Adnaan, —-, Ibnaay Prophet Hazrat Isma’eel علیہم السلام, Prophet Hazrat Ibnaay Ibrahim علیہم السلام
Both
the paternal and maternal lineages of the Prophet صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم meet and
converge at Kilaab ibn Murrah.
The lineage of the Prophet صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم was preserved authentically
until Adnaan and has been presented here as per the narrations of Sahih
Al-Bukhari, Ibn Hisham and At-Tabari. Beyond Adnaan the lineage has not been
reliably preserved, although there are reports with a varying number of names
in each that complete the gap in between Hazrat Adnaan and Prophet Hazrat
Isma’eel علیہم السلام.
The Poem of Hazrat Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib رضي الله عنه
When Our Beloved Prophet صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم returned to Madinah Al-Munawwarah
from gaining victory and success in the expedition of Tabook, his blessed uncle
Hazrat Al-Abbas رضي
الله عنه requested permission to recite a few stanzas of poetry in
his praise to which the Prophet
صلّی اللہ
علیہ وسلم responded:
قُلْ، لَا
يَفْضُضِ اللهُ فَاكَ
“Go
ahead. May Almighty Allaah keep your mouth fresh & well.”
This
is what Hazrat Al-Abbas رضي
الله عنه said:
مِنْ قَبْلِهَا
طِبْتَ فِي الظِّلَالِ وَفِي … مُسْتَوْدَعٍ حَيْثُ يُخْصَفُ الْوَرَقُ
“Before
you came to this world, you were excellent in the Shadows (of Paradise) and in
the repository (i.e. loins of [Hazrat] Aadam Alayhi Salaam) in the time when
they covered themselves with leaves
ثُمَّ هَبَطْتَ
الْبِلَادَ لَا بَشَرٌ … أَنْتَ وَلَا مُضْغَةٌ وَلَا عَلَقُ
Then
you descended into a world (in the loins of Hazrat Aadam Alayhi Salaam) when
there was no other human, nor foetus, nor embryo,
بَلْ نُطْفَةٌ
تَرْكَبُ السَّفِينَ وَقَدْ … أَلْجَمَ نَسْرًا وَأَهْلَهُ الْغَرَقُ
Rather
you embarked on the ship (of Nooh علیہم السلام ) Navigating it and
protecting it whilst others drowned,
تُنْقَلُ
مِنْ صَالِبٍ إِلَى رَحِمٍ … إِذَا مَضَى عَالِمٌ بَدَا طَبَقُ
You
descended through the ages from pure loins to blessed wombs,
وَأَنْتَ
لَمَّا وُلِدْتَ أَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَضَاءَتْ بِنُورِكَ الْأُفُقُ
When
you were born, the earth shone, and your light illuminated the horizons
فَنَحْنُ
فِي ذَلِكَ الضِّيَاءِ وَفِي النُّورِ وَسُبْلِ الرَّشَادِ نَخْتَرِقُ
We
traverse in that illumination and in the light and in the paths of right guidance
“
(Al-Khasaais
Al-Kubra)
And as time traversed through those generations that passed and the purest of
souls
amongst each of them transmitted his blessed light, we reach that remarkable
moment
in the pinnacle of history, when our horizons were illumined by his presence…
صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم
