Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Four traits of the Age of Ignorance will be found in my Ummah; they will not abandon them: (1) boasting about lineage (family greatness), (2) defaming ancestry, (3) seeking rain through the stars, and (4) wailing (lamenting the dead)."
