Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is a descendant of Abraham (عليه السلام). This is evident from the Quran: > ملة **أبيكم** إبراهيم > > [It is] the religion of **your** **father**, Abraham > > <sup>— [Quran 22:78](https://quran.com/22/78?translations=20)</sup> It is also corroborated elsewhere in the Quran, such as: > [Quran 2:127-129][1] And [mention] when **Abraham was raising the foundations > of the House** and [with him] **Ishmael,** [saying], "Our Lord, accept > [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing. Our Lord, and > make us Muslims [in submission] to You **and from our descendants a > Muslim nation** [in submission] to You. And show us our rites and accept > our repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of repentance, the > Merciful. Our Lord, and **send among them a messenger from themselves** > who will recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and wisdom > and purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise." > > [Quran 14:37][2] Our Lord, I have settled **some of my descendants** > in an uncultivated **valley near Your sacred House**, our Lord, that > they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline > toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be > grateful. The above verses establish that the descendants of Ishmael (عليه السلام) settled around the House (Kaabah) and that a Messenger would be raised from among them who would bring them a Scripture. The Messenger that Abraham (عليه السلام) prayed for in 2:129 refers to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) . > أَنَا دَعْوَةُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ > > I am the supplication of my father Abraham > > <sup>— [Saheeh Ibn Hibban](https://shamela.ws/book/1729/9343)</sup> --- There are several Hadith where the Prophet claimed descent from Abraham (عليه السلام), among them: > قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى > مِنْ وَلَدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ وَلَدِ > إِسْمَاعِيلَ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ قُرَيْشًا > وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي > هَاشِمٍ > > The Messenger of Allah said: Allah chose from the **Children of Abraham**: > Ishmael. And chose from the children of Ishmael: Bani Kananah, and > from the Bani Kananah He chose the Quraysh, and from the Quraysh He > chose Bani Hashim, and **He chose me from the Bani Hashim**. > > <sub> — [Jami Tirmidhi][6] كتاب المناقب ( Book of virtues ) </sub> > > رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى > كِنَانَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَاصْطَفَى قُرَيْشًا مِنْ كِنَانَةَ > وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي > هَاشِمٍ " > > The Messenger of Allah said: Verily Allah granted eminence to Kinana > from amongst the **descendants of Ishmael**, and he granted eminence to > the Quraish amongst Kinana, and he granted eminence to Banu Hashim > amongst the Quraish, and **he granted me eminence from the tribe of > Banu Hashim**. > > <sub> — [Sahih Muslim][7] كتاب الفضائل ( Book of virtues ) </sub> [1]: https://quran.com/2/127-129 [2]: https://quran.com/14/37 [3]: https://quran.com/36/6 [4]: https://quran.com/6/156 [5]: http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=299 [6]: https://sunnah.com/urn/734660 [7]: https://sunnah.com/muslim/43/1 [8]: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/8211#showrashi=true [9]: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/8212#showrashi=true [10]: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/89/is-christianity-avodah-zara [11]: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/26328/jews-allowed-to-pray-and-join-muslim-congregation-in-mosques-and-experiences/26355#26355
