Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The singling out of the offspring of Isma'il?

Answer:
It is a distinction; because they are the children of the prophets. Isma'il was a prophet, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), as he said in the story of Aisha regarding the slave girl:
told her to manumit her as she was from the descendants of (the Prophet) Ishmaelاعتقيها؛ فإنها من ولد إسماعيل
Sahih al-Bukhari 4366
, and it came in the authentic hadith:
Indeed, Allah chose from the children of Adam the children of Isma'il, and He chose from the children of Isma'il Kinanah, and He chose from Kinanah Quraysh, and He chose from Quraysh the children of Hashim, and He chose me from the children of Hashimإنَّ الله اختار من بني آدم بني إسماعيل، واختار من بني إسماعيل كنانة، واختار من كنانة قريشًا، واختار من قريش بني هاشم، واصطفاني من بني هاشم
narrated by Muslim in "Sahih." They have a distinction, and they have a special virtue.
