Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), two men boasted of their lineage against one another. One of them said: "I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so; who are you, may you have no mother?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the time of Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), two men boasted of their lineage. One of them said: 'I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so,' until he counted nine of his forefathers, (and then said:) 'Who are you, may you have no mother?' The other replied: 'I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so, son of Islam.'" the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Allah Almighty revealed to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him): 'These are two men who have boasted of their lineage against one another. As for you who traced your lineage to those nine who are in Hell, you will be the tenth of them; and as for you who traced your lineage to two who are in Paradise, you will be the third of them in Paradise.'"
Abdullah bin Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Yazid bin Ziyad bin Abi al-Ja'd, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
