It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People should stop boasting about their ancestors, otherwise in the sight of Allah they will be more insignificant than a goat whose body has started to emit a foul smell. Allah the Blessed and Exalted has removed from you the pride of the age of ignorance and boasting about your ancestors. Now, either a person will be a pious Muslim or a wretched sinner. All people are the children of Adam (peace be upon him), and Adam (peace be upon him) was created from clay.
