Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ قَالَ قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بَلَغَهُ صَلَّى ا
للَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنَا قَالُوا أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ وَجَعَلَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ فِرْقَةٍ وَخَلَقَ الْقَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِ قَبِيلَةٍ وَجَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا فَجَعَلَنِي فِي خَيْرِهِمْ بَيْتًا فَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا

English Translation
Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Nawfal, from al-Muttalib ibn Abi Wada'ah, who said: Al-'Abbas said: Something that the people were saying reached him ﷺ. So he ascended the pulpit and said: "Who am I?" They said: "You are the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said: "I am Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib. Indeed, Allah created the creation and placed me among the best of His creation. He made them into two groups and placed me in the better group. He created the tribes and placed me in the best tribe. He made them into clans and placed me in the best of them in clan. So I am the best of you in clan and the best of you in person."
