The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has removed from you the arrogance of the Days of Ignorance and its boasting about ancestors. A person is either a believer who is mindful of Allah or a wicked wretch. You are all the children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust. Some men must abandon their boasting about peoples who are nothing but coals from the coals of Hell, or else they will be more contemptible to Allah than the dung beetle that pushes filth with its nose."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: إن الله عز وجل قد أذهب عنكم عبية الجاهلية وفخرها بالآباء مؤمن تقي وفاجر شقي، أنتم بنو آدم وآدم من تراب، ليدعن رجال فخرهم بأقوام إنما هم فحم من فحم جهنم، أو ليكونن أهون على الله من الجعلان التي تدفع بأنفها النتن.
It was narrated by Abu Dawud (5116), and this is his wording, and Tirmidhi (3956), both from the hadith of Hisham bin Saad, from Saeed bin Abu Saeed, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, who said, then he mentioned it.Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan hadith, and this is more sahih in our view than the first hadith." By this he means what he himself (3955) and Ahmad (8736) narrated, both from the hadith of Hisham bin Saad, in which they did not mention "from his father" between Saeed bin Abu Saeed and Abu Hurairah. Tirmidhi then said, "Saeed Maqburi did hear from Abu Hurairah, but he narrates many things from his father, from Abu Hurairah."I say, its chain is hasan because of Hisham bin Saad Madani, Abu Abbad, for there is disagreement about him, though his hadith is hasan when it does not contain anything objectionable and when there is no disagreement transmitted from him.Ahmad (8792) narrated it from another route in abridged form with his words, "The people will surely abandon their pride in the pre-Islamic tribal sense, or they will become more hateful to Allah than dung beetles." This version contains Abu Mashar, who is Najeeh bin Abdul-Rahman Sindi, and he is daif.His statement "al-ubbiyyah" means arrogance and haughtiness, and its root involves a hamzah, coming from al-ibu, meaning a heavy load. It is said both ubbiyyah and ibbiyyah, with the ayn either with damma or kasrah.His statement "a believer who is God-fearing, or a wicked wretch" means that people are of two kinds, a believer who is God-fearing, who is the excellent and virtuous one even if he has no standing of lineage among his people, and a wicked wretch, who is the base and lowly one even if he is noble and elevated among his family. This explanation is given by Khattabi.His statement "al-jian" is the plural of jual, which is a type of dung beetle that rolls filth with its snout.
