Sayyiduna Amr bin Murrah al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever here is from Ma'add, let him stand up." The narrator says: I stood up, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sit down!" This happened three times; each time I stood up and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sit down!" When it happened the third time, I said: "O Messenger of Allah! To whom do we belong (by lineage)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people of the tribe of Quda'ah! You belong to Himyar." Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I kept this hadith hidden for twenty years.
Ahmad, Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar (each in his Musnad) and Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it. Tabarani recorded several routes of it, one of which has the words: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! To whom do we belong (by lineage)?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'You belong to the open hand and the satisfying morsel (perhaps meaning being hospitable and generous): to Himyar.'" The chain of this report contains the narrator Ibn Lahi'ah.
