Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3956

He then said that a person is either a pious believer or a miserable sinner, and that people are the children of Adam, while Adam is from dirt. The Hadith does not leave room for pride based only on family line or ancestry. Its focus is human humility before Allah. For people searching for hadith about lineage pride, this narration is a direct reminder that human origin is shared and that piety is what matters in the wording of the Hadith.
