Takhrij Hadith 454: "O Muhammad, Allah sent me,…"

O Muhammad, Allah sent me, and I went around the east and the west of the earth, its plains and its mountains, and I found no people better than the Arabs. Then He commanded me, and I went around the Arabs and found no tribe better than Mudar. Then He commanded me, and I went around Mudar and found no tribe better than Kinanah. Then He commanded me, and I went around Kinanah and found no tribe better than Quraysh. Then He commanded me, and I went around Quraysh and found no clan better than Banu Hashim. Then He commanded me to choose the best individual among them, and I found no person better than you.
