Mishkat al-Masabih — Hadith #52058

On the authority of Wathilah bin Al-Asqa’, he said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying: “Indeed, God chose Kinana from the descendants of Ishmael and chose Quraysh from Kinana, and he chose from Quraysh Banu Hashim, and he chose me from Banu Hashim.” Narrated by Muslim and in a narration by Al-Tirmidhi: “Indeed, God chose Ishmael from the progeny of Abraham, and He chose from the progeny of Ishmael, Banu Kinanah.”
