It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has removed from you the pride of the Age of Ignorance and boasting about your forefathers. 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. People should refrain from boasting about their ancestors, otherwise, in the sight of Allah, they will be more insignificant than a goat whose body has started to stink and people are willing to pay money to get rid of it.
