Ma`d Ibn `Adnaan 3 and who is from the sons of Ismaa`eel. There is no need to mention<br />

the different opinions (the scholars) have regarding how many fathers are there<br />

). 4 سالم between them (i.e. `Adnaan and Ismaa`eel<br />

There is no difference of opinion amongst the scholars about this lineage. 5 <strong>Al</strong>l the `Arab<br />

tribes in al-Ḥijaaz area trace back their ancestry to this lineage. This is why regarding<br />

‏:تعاىل the saying of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />

عليهُال<br />

‏ُّلَُُّأَس أَل ك م ‏ُُعَلَي هُُِأَج رُاُإِّلَُُّال مَوَدَّةَُُفِ‏ ‏ُُال ق ر بَىُ﴾‏<br />

{Say (O Muḥammad): “No reward do I ask of you for this (message) except to be kind<br />

to me for my kinship with you.”} [Surah al-Shoora (42): 23]<br />

Ibn `Abbaas رضيُاهللُعنهما and others said: “There was not a single house (i.e. sub-tribe) of<br />

Quraish except that the Prophet ﷺ had relatives therein and so the above Aayah was<br />

revealed in this connection, and its interpretation is: ‘O Quraish! I do not want anything<br />

from (you) except that you should be kind to me for my kinship with you.’” 6<br />

3 Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (5/44) (Ar.) in “Mu`allaq” form (i.e. without a chain of narration)<br />

4 [TN: Imaam Ibn Katheer mentioned in his “al-<strong>Seerah</strong> al-Nabawiyyah”: The scholars differed in the numbers of<br />

fathers between Ismaa`eel and `Adnaan. The highest number that was said is forty, and the minimum is four. This<br />

is why Imaam Maalik رمحه ‏ُاهلل disliked attributing the lineage to the Prophet ﷺ after `Adnaan. `Urwah Ibn al-<br />

Zubair (the son of Asmaa' Bint Abu Bakr and the nephew of `Aaishah<br />

anyone who is sure (with certainty) about those between `Adnaan and Ismaa`eel.”]<br />

) said: “We have not found رضيُاهلل ‏ُعنهمُأعمعني<br />

5 I (al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: This is the reason why I have mentioned it in this “Ṣaḥeeḥ al-<strong>Seerah</strong>”, adhering to the<br />

‏,”خامتُ‏ النبيني “ of principles that I have clarified and mentioned earlier in the introduction. And Abu Zahrah, the author<br />

as evidence, relied on the narration of Ibn `Abbaas رضيُاهللُعنهما that whenever Prophet ﷺ spoke of his ancestry<br />

he would stop at `Adnaan and say: ❝Genealogists tell lies.❞ <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل says:<br />

‏﴿وَق رون اُبَني ‏َُُذَىلِكَُُكَثِري ا﴾‏<br />

{and many generations in between} [Surah al-Furqaan (25): 38]<br />

And it was hidden from him that this is a fabricated narration. In its chain is a liar who himself confessed that he<br />

used to lie. See al-Ḍha`eefah (111)]<br />
