Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, surely, people must abandon boasting about their ancestors, for these ancestors were merely fuel for Hell, or else they will become more insignificant to Allah than a dung beetle that pushes filth with its nose. Remember, Allah Almighty has ended the pride and arrogance of the Age of Ignorance and boasting about forefathers from among you. Now there are only two types: a pious, faithful person and a wicked, miserable one. All people are the children of Adam (peace be upon him), and Adam (peace be upon him) was created from dust.
