It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say on the Day of Resurrection: "Indeed, I set a lineage (a standard of honour and excellence), and you people devised a separate lineage of your own. I made the most honoured of you the one who is most God-fearing among you ('Indeed, the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you' [Surah al-Hujurat: 13]), whereas you used to say (in the world): 'O so-and-so, son of so-and-so!' and 'I am more honourable than you.' So today I will raise high the lineage I set, and I will bring down these (self-made) lineages of yours. Where are those who were God-fearing?"
Imam al-Harith bin Abi Usamah narrated this report in his Musnad. The narrator in its chain, Talhah bin Amr bin Uthman al-Hadrami, is matruk al-hadith (abandoned in hadith); however, its text agrees with the texts of the Qur'an.
