It is narrated from Sayyiduna Yazid bin Na'amah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man establishes a bond of brotherhood and friendship with another, he should ask him about his name, his father's name and his family and background, for this is the best means of strengthening and nurturing mutual affection and love."
Imam Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah transmitted this hadith in his Musannaf, and Imam al-Tirmidhi also recorded it; however, there is disagreement over whether Yazid bin Na'amah in its chain is a Companion or a Successor.
