Narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The father of the Arabs is Sam, the father of the Romans is Yafith, and the father of the Abyssinians is Ham. Ruh, the narrator, while narrating from his memory in Baghdad, said: Prophet Nuh (may Allah be pleased with him) had three sons: Sam, Ham, and Yafith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a Bedouin came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was wearing a green shawl cloak, which was fastened with silk. He said: "Your companion wants the shepherds to be elevated and the horsemen to be lowered." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up in a state of anger, grabbed him by the chest and shook him, and said: "I do not want to see the clothing of fools on you." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned and sat down and said: "Indeed, when the time of death of Nuh (peace be upon him) approached, he called his sons and said: 'I am about to give you advice. I command you with two things and forbid you from two things. I forbid you from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and arrogance, and I command you with La ilaha illallah. If the heavens, the earths, and whatever is between them were placed on one side of the scale, and La ilaha illallah was placed on the other side, the latter would outweigh them. And if the heavens and the earth were a ring, and La ilaha illallah was placed upon them, this word would break them. And I command you to say Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi, for it is the prayer of everything, and by it everything is provided with sustenance."
