عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ يَفْتَخِرُونَ بِآبَائِهِمُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا إِنَّمَا هُمْ فَحْمٌ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ أَوْ لَيَكُونُنَّ أَهْوَنَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْجُعَلِ الَّذِي يُدَهْدِهُ الْخِرَاءَ بِأَنْفِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَذْهَبَ عَنْكُمْ عُبِّيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَفَخْرَهَا بِالْآبَاءِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ تَقِيٌّ أَوْ فَاجِرٌ شَقِيٌّ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ بَنُو آدَمَ وَآدَمُ مِنْ تُرَابٍ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'People must give up boasting on their forefathers who have died are nothing but fuel of hell. If not, then they will surely be worse than the beetle that makes balls of dung with its nose. Allah has obliterated from you the arrogance of jahiliyah (ignorance period) and its boast on forefathers.A man is but a righteous believer or a wretched sinner. (If he is righteous, then he has no need to take pride in those who have gone away. And if he is a sinner then he has no right to boast on them). All of them are children of Aadam عليه السلام and Aadam عليه السلام was created from dust." (Dust is a worthless thing, so man should not declare his greatness). [3]
