Chapter: The Superiority Of The Prophets Lineage, And The Stone That Greeted Him Before His Prophethood

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Verily Allah granted eminence to Kinana from amongst the descendants of Isma'il, and he granted eminence to the Quraish amongst Kinana, and he granted eminence to Banu Hashim amonsgst the Quraish, and he granted me eminence from the tribe of Banu Hashim.

I recognise the stone in Mecca which used to pay me salutations before my advent as a Prophet and I recognise that even now.
