Banu Hashim: Difference between revisions

One day the [[Prophet (s)]] came out of his house and he was very happy, when he was asked about the reason, he said: [[Jabra'il]] (Gabriel) came to me from [[Allah]] and said: "Allah have chosen seven from Banu Hashim that He have neither created nor will create: You, O Prophet, [[Imam 'Ali (a)|'Ali]] your successor, [[Imam al-Hasan (a)|al-Hasan]] and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)|al-Husayn]] your grandsons, [[Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib|Hamza]] your uncle, [[Ja'far b. Abi Talib|Ja'far]] your cousin, and [[al-Qa'im]], [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]] with whom [[Jesus (a)]] will pray."

Also when [[Muhajirun]] (the immigrants), [[Ansar]] (the helpers), and Banu Hashim were discussing about which of them are dearer to the Prophet (s), he said: "as for you, the helpers, I am your brother; as for you, the immigrants, I am one of you; as for you Banu Hashim, you are from me and with me".

There are [[hadith]]s from the Prophet (s) in many of Sunni sources that introduces Banu Hashim and Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib as the best of Arab, or even the best of mankind; but considering that most of the hadiths are narrated in the time of Banu 'Abbas, it is possible that these had been faked in the support of Abbasids, especially that they wanted to stress their relation to Banu Hashim. So the good encounter of the Prophet (s) with some of Banu Hashim was because of their [[faith]] not only that they were his relatives.
