What is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)’s lineage? Arabs of the old were
very preserving of their lineage. That is why if we open up the biography of any famous companion, we will find
that his generation has been persevered sometimes up to 15-20 generations, the names of his fathers and forefathers all.
Prophet Muhammad to Adnan :
With respect to the lineage of Prophet Muhammad [pbuh], there are three versions: The first was
authenticated by biographers and genealogists and states that Muhammad’s genealogy has been traced to ‘Adnan.
Adnan to Prophet Adam :
The second is subject to controversies and doubt, and traces his lineage beyond ‘Adnan back to Abraham.
The third version, with some parts definitely incorrect, traces his lineage beyond Abraham back to Adam [AWS].
As for the chart that shows a lineage all the way from Prophet Muhammad to Adam (AS) it has no sources in
our history, rather it is taken from Christian and Jew sources. It is not to be found in our ahadeeth.that is :
