You stumble across the most useless information when you are poking around on the web. I was going through old links and came to a site called News Punch and found a headline that said Queen Elizabeth is a direct descendant of Muhammad. The date on the article in January, 2018 so it is not exactly hot news.
You need to go through 43 generations to get this established. If you have ever looked into this kind of thing, in 43 generations you can probably prove that you are related to just about anyone. I always used to tell students that if we trace our genealogy back far enough, all of us have both slaves and slave owners somewhere in our family tree.
And of course this is true because it is on the internet.

My late brother-in-law once found a genealogy sight that traced his ancestors back to "Father Abraham." His tongue in cheek comment was, "My, what excellent records they must have!" - lol
