{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 />

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 />
