عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ وَالْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ عُلَاثَةَ فَذَكَرُوا الْجُدُودَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ جَدُّ بَنِي عَامِرٍ جَمَلٌ أَحْمَرُ أَوْ آدَمُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الشَّجَرِ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ فِي رَوْضَةٍ وَغَطَفَانُ أَكَمَةٌ خَشَّاءُ تَنْفِي النَّاسَ عَنْهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَأَيْنَ جَدُّ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ قَالَ لَوْ سَكَتَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that ‘Uyainah bin Badr, Aqra‘ bin Habis, and ‘Alqamah bin ‘Alathah gathered in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began discussing their ancestors (saying that so-and-so’s grandfather was strong). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you wish, I can tell you. The ancestor of Banu ‘Amir was a red or wheat-colored camel that used to eat leaves from trees in a small garden. The ancestor of Ghatafan was a fearsome hill that used to drive people away from there. Aqra‘ bin Habis said: And the ancestor of Banu Tamim? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If he had remained silent, it would have been better.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Alqamah bin Ulatheh attributed himself to Banu Amir, Uyainah bin Badr to Ghatafan, and Aqra’ bin Habis to Banu Tamim.
One day, a fox and a jackal got into a debate. Since the fox used to stay with the lion, he began mentioning the lion’s achievements, saying: We did such-and-such deed, we displayed such-and-such excellence, we… The jackal, after listening to everything, said: Well, fox, tell me, who are you yourself? Who are you yourself? In response, the fox had to admit that he is, after all, just a fox.
The point is that if someone’s grandfather, great-grandfather, or ancestor had some excellence, what connection does that have with the distinction of the grandson or great-grandson? One day, a man, boasting about his clan and mentioning his status in a proud manner, said: We are those people whose maternal uncle was seated on that throne by the Nawab of Kala Bagh, which he had reserved for Asif Ali Zardari.
Islam has nothing to do with such matters. Islam does not look at appearance, beauty, or lineage and clan; it only considers the heart and deeds.
