Family tree of Muhammad

[1][2][3][4] According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad descends from the biblical Ishmael through the Hashem tribe.

It is narrated that when the prophet Muhammad recited a lineage then reached 'Adnan, he said "Do not surpass Ma'add ibn 'Adnan, the Genealogists lied!"

[11] 'Adnan was the ancestor of the 'Adnani Arabs of northern, central and western Arabia and a direct descendant of Isma'il.

Scholars, both Islamic and Western agree that the narrations considering Ibrahim's lineage to Adam are mythology.

Nuh's son Sam (Shem) is considered the ancestor of the Semitic race.
