It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that ‘Uyainah bin Badr, Aqra‘ bin Habis, and ‘Alqamah bin ‘Alathah gathered in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began discussing their ancestors (saying that so-and-so’s grandfather was strong). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you wish, I can tell you. The ancestor of Banu ‘Amir was a red or wheat-colored camel that used to eat leaves from trees in a small garden. The ancestor of Ghatafan was a fearsome hill that used to drive people away from there. Aqra‘ bin Habis said: And the ancestor of Banu Tamim? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If he had remained silent, it would have been better.
