Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The lineage of the Prophet Sallahu Alyhi Wasalam is:
Mohammed Sallahu Alyhi Wasalam, the son of Abdullah, the son of Abdul-Muttalib, the son of Hāshim, the son of Abdi Manaf, the son of Qusayy, the son of Kilāb, the son of Murrah, the son of Ka῾b, the son of Lu’ayy, the son of Gālib, the son of Fihr, the son of Mālik, the son of an-Nadr, the son of Kinānah, the son of Khuzaymah, the son of Mudrikah, the son of Ilyas, the son of Mudar, the son of Nizār, the son of Ma῾d, the son of Adnān.[1]
The Scholars have consensus on the aforementioned lineage. There is no sound lineage found linking Adnān to Hazrat Adam Alyhi Salām.[2]
