وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَنْسَابُكُمْ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِمَسَبَّةٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ كُلُّكُمْ بَنُو آدَمَ طَفُّ الصَّاعِ بِالصَّاعِ لَمْ تملؤوه لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَضْلٌ إِلَّا بِدِينٍ وَتَقْوًى كَفَى بِالرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَذِيًّا فَاحِشًا بَخِيلًا» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ»
'Uqbah bin 'Amir Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "These genealogies of yours are not what you may revile anyone for (and degrade them). All of you are children of Aadam عليه السلام, just as one sa' if (of full measure) like the other when you have not filled it, No one enjoys excellence over another except because of religion and righteousness. It is enough evil in man for him to be sharp tongued, obscene and niggardly." [1]
