عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ :
" إِنَّ أَنْسَابَكُمْ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِسِبَابٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ ، وَإِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ وَلَدُ آدَمَ ، طَفُّ الصَّاعِ لَمْ تَمْلَؤْهُ . لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ فَضْلٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِالدِّينِ أَوْ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ ، حَسْبُ الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَكُونَ فَحَّاشًا بَذِيئًا بَخِيلًا جَبَانًا " .
" إِنَّ أَنْسَابَكُمْ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِسِبَابٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ ، وَإِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ وَلَدُ آدَمَ ، طَفُّ الصَّاعِ لَمْ تَمْلَؤْهُ . لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ فَضْلٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِالدِّينِ أَوْ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ ، حَسْبُ الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَكُونَ فَحَّاشًا بَذِيئًا بَخِيلًا جَبَانًا " .
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "These lineages of yours are not such that you should revile anyone on account of them. You are the children of Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him), a sa' measure falling short that you cannot fill (that is, every human being has some deficiency and shortcoming). No one has any superiority over anyone else, except for superiority in religion or righteous deeds. And it is enough (evil) for a man that he is obscene in speech, foul-tongued, miserly or cowardly."
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ : " إِنَّ أَنْسَابَكُمْ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِمَسَبَّةٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَفِيهِ لِينٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ وُثِّقُوا .

In one narration the words are: "These lineages of yours cannot be a cause for reviling anyone."

وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ لَهُ :
" انْظُرْ ، فَإِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ أَحْمَرَ وَلَا أَسْوَدَ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ تَفْضُلَهُ بِتَقْوَى " .

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - :
" إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ وَاحِدٌ ، وَأَبَاكُمْ وَاحِدٌ ، فَلَا فَضْلَ لِعَرَبِيٍّ عَلَى أَعْجَمِيٍّ ، وَلَا أَحْمَرَ عَلَى أَسْوَدَ إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَالْبَزَّارُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ وَاحِدٌ ، وَإِنَّ دِينَكُمْ وَاحِدٌ ، أَبُوكُمْ آدَمُ ، وَآدَمُ خُلِقَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ " .

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your Lord is one and your forefather is one. No Arab has superiority over a non-Arab, and no red-skinned (that is, fair-skinned) person has superiority over a black-skinned person, except through taqwa."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and al-Bazzar recorded something similar, except that he recorded these words: "Your forefather is one and your religion is one; your forefather is Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him), and Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) was created from dust." The narrators of al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When it is the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will command a herald to proclaim: 'Behold! I made a lineage and you made a lineage. I made the most honoured of you the one who is most God-fearing among you, but you refused that and said: "So-and-so, son of so-and-so, is better than so-and-so, son of so-and-so." Today I will raise My lineage and lower your lineage. Where are the God-fearing?'"

وَعَنْ قَنْبَرَ حَاجِبٍ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ : كَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يُغْلِظُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ : فَشَكَاهُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَإِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَإِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَإِلَى أُمِّ حَرَامٍ فَقَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ صَحِبْتُمْ كَمَا صَحِبْتُ ، وَرَأَيْتُمْ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمُوهُ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَجَاءَ ، فَكَلَّمُوهُ فَقَالَ : أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ ، فَقَدْ أَسْلَمْتَ قَبْلِي وَلَكَ السِّنُّ وَالْفَضْلُ عَلَيَّ ، وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْغَبُ بِكَ عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ ، فَإِنْ كَادَتْ وَفَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَتَفُوتُكَ ، ثُمَّ أَسْلَمْتَ ، فَكُنْتَ مِنْ صَالِحِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَمْرُو ، فَقَدْ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا أُمَّ حَرَامٍ ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتِ امْرَأَةٌ ، وَعَقْلُكِ عَقْلُ امْرَأَةٍ ، فَمَا أَنْتِ وَذَاكَ ؟ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ : لَا جَرَمَ لَا جَلَسْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ أَبَدًا . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ قَنْبَرُ حَاجِبُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ذَكَرَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ وَلَمْ يُوَثِّقْهُ ( وَلَمْ يَجْرَحْهُ ) ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Qanbar, the doorkeeper of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to speak harshly to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) complained about this to Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit, Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda', Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As and Sayyidah Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with them), and said: "You kept the company (of the Prophet) just as I kept it, and you saw just as I saw. If you see fit, speak to him." Then he sent for Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), and he came. They spoke to him, and Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu al-Walid! As for you, you accepted Islam before me, and you have seniority in age and excellence over me, and I would have thought you above a gathering such as this. O Abu al-Darda'! As for you, the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) nearly passed you by, but then you accepted Islam and became one of the righteous Muslims. O Amr! As for you, you fought in jihad alongside the Messenger of Allah. O Umm Haram! As for you, you are a woman, and your understanding is the understanding of a woman, so what have you to do with this?" Then Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Certainly, I shall never sit in a gathering like this again."
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains Qanbar, the doorkeeper of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him); Ibn Abi Hatim mentioned him and neither declared him thiqah (trustworthy) nor criticised him. The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
