إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ ءَادَمَ وَنُوحاً وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى ٱلْعَالَمِينَ

ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُهَا مِن بَعْضٍ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[3:33-34] Lo! God preferred Adam and Noah and the House of Abraham and the House of ʿImrān above the worlds, * the seed of one another; God is Hearer, Knower.
Adam and his seed are compatible in material substance, but the characteristic of being chosen is something that comes from Him, not through kinship or relation.
