Sheikh Abu Jaffer says that our belief regarding the parentage of the Prophet (S) is that his ancestors from Adam to Abdullah were all Muslims. This was true for Abu Talib (‘a) and Amina (‘a) - the uncle and mother of the Prophet (S) respectively, as well.

The Prophet of God (S) said: “Looking back from Adam to Abdullah, my transition (from the pure seeds to the pure wombs) was through the legal method of Nikah and not through adultery.”
