Preface
I commence [this] composition in the Name of the Supreme Being, seeking the outpouring of abundant blessings upon whatever He may enable it to achieve and bring about. Next, I extol [Him] and offer thanks whose sources are pure and refreshing, while mounted on the steed of comely thankfulness. Blessings and peace I invoke upon the Light described as first and foremost, passed on in features and upon brows most noble. I ask Allah Most High to bestow especial good pleasure upon the pure Prophetic family, embracing also his Companions, Followers, and all that truly follow them. I ask Allah for guidance in travelling by pathways clear and radiant; and for protection from straying into or approaching the tracts of error. shall unfold, from the story of the Prophet’s nativity, garments fair and vivid, assembling from [his] noble lineage a necklace whose beauty regales the listener. And I seek help from the strength and power of Allah Most Mighty; for truly there is no power or strength but through Allah.

Perfume, O Allah, his noble tomb with a fragrant scent of blessing and salutation
(O Allah, exalt him, preserve him and bless him.)

The Lineage of the Prophet
I declare that he is our liege-lord Muhammad, son of ‘Abd Allah, son of ‘Abd al-Muttalib whose [honorary] name was Shaybat al-Hamd and whose lofty traits were much praised; son of Hashim whose name was ‘Amr; son of ‘Abd Manaf whose name was Mughira and whose distinction attained great heights; son of Qusayy whose name was Mujammi’, named Qusayy because he dwelt far away in the remote lands of Quda’a until Allah Most High returned him to the Sacred Precinct, protecting his domain; son of Kilab whose name was Hakim; son of Murra; son of Kab; son of Lu’ayy; son of Ghalib; son of Fihr whose name was Quraysh and from whom the Quraysh are descended. His forebear was Kinani, by consensus of the majority,” son of Malik; son of Nadr; son of Kinana; son of Khuzayma; son of Mudrika; son of Ilyas, who was the first to donate camels at the Sanctuary Precincts and in whose loins the Prophet (may Allah exalt and preserve him) was heard invoking Allah Most High and saying the Talbiya; [he was] the son of Mudar; son of Nizar; son of Maadd; son of ‘Adnan.
This is a necklace whose unique gems are strung together by the fingertips of the lofty Sunna. To trace it back unto Ibrahim al-Khalil (the Close Friend [of Allah]), peace be upon him, the Lawgiver forbore and demurred. But ‘Adnan was beyond doubt, according to those knowledgeable in genealogy, the scion and descendant of Isma’il al-Dhabih (the Sacrificial One).
How wondrous, then, this necklace of glistening stars of pearls! And how could it be otherwise, its chosen centrepiece being the Noblest of Masters?

A lineage so exalted that you would think Gemini
had decked it out with its stars’ finery.
How lovely a necklace of mastery and pride,
whose unique, closely guarded pearl is you!

A lineage most noble, which Allah Most High kept pure from the fornication (sifah) of pre-Islamic times. As Zayn [al-Din] al-‘Iraqi recounted in his Mawrid al-hani.

In honour of Muhammad, God protected
his noble ancestors, safeguarding his name.
Fornication they shunned, unshamed thereby,
from Adam to [the Prophet’s] father and mother.

High-born [forebears], through whose radiant features there coursed the light of Prophethood! And the full moon [of Prophetic light] shone forth upon the brows of Abd al-Muttalib and his son Abd Allah.

Perfume, O Allah, his noble tomb with a fragrant scent of blessing and salutation
(O Allah, exalt him, preserve him and bless him.)

I say: He is our Master Muhammad; son of ‘Abd Allah; son of ‘Abd al-Muţţalib, named Shaybat al-Hamd, whose brilliant qualities were praised; son of Hashim, whose name is ‘Amr; son of ‘Abd Munāf, whose name is al-Mughira, who ascended to the most exaltedranks; son of Quşayy, whose was called Mujammi‘ because he used to travel far into the land Quđā‘at al-Quşayyah land, until Allah brought him back to the sacred presincts of al-haram and he took charge of its protection; son of Kilāb, whose name is Hakīm; son of Murrah; son of Ka‘b; son of Lu’ayy; son of Ghālib; son of Fihr, whose name is Quraysh, to whom the clans of Quraysh are related. Above Quraysh are those of Kināni, as accepted by many: Ibn Mālik; son of al-Nađr; son of Kinānah; son of Khuzaymah; son of Mudrikah; son of Ilyās, the first to offer camels as a present to the sacrosanct precinct, and in whose loins the Prophet was heard mentioning Allah and responding to Him with “Labbayk“; son of Muđar; son of Nizār; son of Ma‘add; son of ‘Adnān —

A lineage so exalted that you would think Gemini
had decked it out with its stars’ finery.
How lovely a necklace of mastery and pride,
whose unique, closely guarded pearl is you!

A lineage most noble, which Allah Most High kept pure from the fornication (sifah) of pre-Islamic times. As Zayn [al-Din] al-‘Iraqi recounted in his Al-Mawrid al-hani (The Pure Souece).

‘In honour of Muhammad, God protected
his noble ancestors, safeguarding his name.
Fornication they shunned, unshamed thereby,
from Adam to [the Prophet’s] father and mother.’

High-born [forebears], through whose radiant features there coursed the light of Prophethood! And the full moon [of Prophetic light] shone forth upon the brows of Abd al-Muttalib and his son Abd Allah.

O Allah, scent his noble grave with an aromatic fragrance of blessings and peace!
O Allah, send prayers and blessings to him!

Jag säger: Han är vår mästare Muhammad, må Allah välsigna honom och sända fred över honom, son av Abdullāh; son av ‘Abd al-Muttalib vars namn var Shaybat al-Hamd, eftersom hans höga karaktär lovordades; son av Hāshim, vars namn var ‘Amr; son av ‘Abd Manāf vars namn var Mughīrah, som var hög i status; son av Qusayy vars namn var Mujammi’. Han kallades Qusayy därför att han befann i Qudā’ah, landet långt bort i fjärran, tills Allah den Upphöjde förde honom åter till Haram (det heliga området i Makkah) i Hans beskydd; son av Kilāb vars namn var Hakīm; son av Murrah; son av Ka’b; son av Lu’ayy; son av Ghālib; son av Fihr vars namn var Quraysh, och från honom härstämmar Qurayshs ätt. Före honom var Kinānī, vilket många (av de lärde) är överens om; Kinānī var son av Mālik; son av Nadr; son av Khuzaymah; son av Mudrikah; son av Ilyās, som var den förste att offra kameler inne i al-Haram. Från hans länder hördes Profeten, må Allah välsigna honom och sända fred över honom, nämna Allah och säga: “O’ min Herre här är jag, till Din tjänst”; son av Mudar; son av Nizār; son av Ma’add; son av ‘Adnān. Detta är en tråd vars dyrbara juveler träts på av den fulländade Sunnans hand. Att spåra ‘Adnāns härkomst till Allah’s vän, Profeten Ibrāhīm, fred vare med honom, var något som Laggivaren (Profeten må Allah välsigna honom och sända fred över honom) avhöll sig från. Enligt genealogerna råder det dock inget tvivel om att ‘Adnāns börd kan spåras tillbaka till den som offrades, Ismā’īl, där vår mästare Muhammads släktled slutar.
 

Vilken vackert halsband är inte detta, vars pärlor tindrar likt de lysande stjärnorna på himlen. Och varför skulle det inte vara så, när den utvalde, mest ärade Mästaren (Profeten må Allah välsigna honom och sända fred över honom) är bland dem!
 

En börd som når höjder av ornament,
utsmyckad som ett halsband
från Geminis stjärnkonstellation
O’ vilket utsökt smycke av ledarskap och prakt!
I vilken du (O’ Muhammad)
är dess välbevarade juvel!
 

Hur nobel är inte den börd vilken Allah den Upphöjde har renat från Jāhiliyyahs omoral. Det har förmedlats av Zayn al-‘Irāqī i hans ‘Mawrid al-Haniyy’:
 

Allah har bevarat Muhammads ära
och hans nobla förfäder till skydd för hans namn,
de lämnade omoralen och erfor aldrig dess skam
från Adam och ända fram till hans far och mor
 

Profetskapets klara ljus emanerar från deras upplysta ansikten. Hans fullmåne visade sig i hans farfar ‘Abd al-Muttalibs och hans far Abdallāhs anleten.
 

O’ Allah må du parfymera hans ärade grav
med väldoften från välsignelser och fred.
O’ Allah välsigna honom och sänd Din fred över honom!
