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.

Hadith of The Day

أَنَّ رسول اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : "‏ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ، لاَ يَظْلِمُهُ وَلاَ يُسْلِمُهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ، وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرُبَاتِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"‏‏

God's Messenger said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection." (Bukhari, Oppressions, 3)
