Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "People should stop boasting about their deceased ancestors; they are merely coals of Hell, or they are more insignificant in the sight of Allah than a dung beetle that pushes filth with its nose. Indeed, Allah has removed the pride and arrogance of the Age of Ignorance regarding ancestors from you. Now, (the one who is honored) is either a pious, righteous believer or a wretched sinner. All people are the children of Adam, and Adam was (created) from dust." Its chain is Hasan. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawood.
