Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) belongs to Adnanis that is one of the two biggest Arabic tribes. The Adnanis are also known as Ismailites named after the Prophet Ismael, the son of Abraham. While the genealogy of Prophet Muhammad that extends twenty-one generations back to Adnan is accepted reliable, even he himself has pointed to the uncertainty of the rest. The uncontested line of his genealogy that is confirmed by all Islamic sources follows Muhammad b. Abdallah b. Abd al-Muttalib b. Hashim b. Abd menaf b. Qusay b. Kilab b. Murra b. Ka’b b. Luay b. Ghalib b. Fihr b. Malik b. Nadr b. Kinana b. Khuzayma b. Mudrike b. Ilyas b. Mudar b. Nidhar b. Maad b. Adnan.

قَبَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَعِنْدَهُ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ جَالِسًا‏.‏ فَقَالَ الأَقْرَعُ إِنَّ لِي عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ مَا قَبَّلْتُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا‏.‏ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ ‏"‏‏

God's Messenger kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali (his grandchild) while Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, "I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them", God's Messenger cast a look at him and said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully." (Bukhari, Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab), 18)
