حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُتَيِّ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عِنْدَ أُبَيٍّ رَجُلاً تَعَزَّى بِعَزَاءِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَأَعَضَّهُ أُبَيٌّ وَلَمْ يُكْنِهِ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ، قَالَ: كَأَنَّكُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمُوهُ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لاَ أَهَابُ فِي هَذَا أَحَدًا أَبَدًا، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”مَنْ تَعَزَّى بِعَزَاءِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَعِضُّوهُ وَلا تَكْنُوهُ.“ ¤ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُبَاَرَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنَ، عَنْ عُتَيٍّ، مِثْلَهُ.
It is narrated from ‘Ata bin Dhamrah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I saw a man at the place of Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) who was attributing himself to the days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah). Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) told him to bite his own male organ, and he did not use a euphemism but said it explicitly. His companions looked at him in astonishment. He said: Do you find my words inappropriate? Then he said: I will not fear anyone in this matter. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever attributes himself to the days of ignorance, tell him to bite his own male organ, and do not use a euphemism but say it explicitly.”
This narration is also reported in the same way through Ibn al-Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
To take pride on the basis of lineage is an ignorant act. Islam has prohibited this because all humans are the children of Adam (alayhis salam) and all have come into this world through the same means. Now, if a person takes pride in his disbelieving, polytheist, and ignorant forefathers, then the means of his existence is the reproductive organ, so he should be told: "Cut off your father's reproductive organ so that the relationship becomes fully apparent." To promote tribalism and to create prejudice because of it is an ignorant habit.
