حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عُقْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُقْبَةَ وَكَانَ مَوْلًى لِأَهْلِ فَارِسَ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَقُلْتُ : خُذْهَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا الْغُلَامُ الْفَارِسِيُّ فَبَلَغَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " أَلَا قُلْتَ : خُذْهَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا الْغُلَامُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ " .
´It was narrated that Abu ‘Uqbah, who was the freed slave of some Persian people, said:` “I was present with the Prophet (ﷺ) on the Day of Uhud. I struck a man from among the idolaters and said: ‘Take that! And I am a Persian slave!’ News of that reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: ‘Why did you not say: “Take that! And I am an Ansari slave!?”

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak.
However, one should not ascribe oneself to, nor express pride in, disbelievers, polytheists, innovators, or ignorant communities.
Rather, expressing ascription to Islam, monotheism (tawhid), the Sunnah, and the people of knowledge is desirable and was the practice among the predecessors (salaf).
The undersigned translator’s father, Shaykh Abdul Aziz Saeedi rahimahullah, used to say:
“I wish to give such prominence to the Saeedi ascription among my children that our own tribal affiliation is forgotten.”
The aforementioned ascription is derived from the well-known Saeediya Madrasah of Delhi,
which was established by Hazrat Mawlana Abu Saeed Muhammad Sharafuddin Muhaddith Dehlavi rahimahullah.
