How authentic and what is the interpretation of the Hadith: "Indeed, these lineages of yours are not a cause for insulting anyone, for you are all children of Adam. You have not filled a single measure (of good deeds). No one has any superiority over another except through religion or righteous action. It is enough disgrace for a man to be foul-mouthed, rude, stingy, and cowardly"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

This Hadith was narrated by Ahmad, Al-Tabarani, and Al-Bayhaqi, and authenticated by Al-Albani. Its meaning revolves around the idea that lineage is not a cause for insult or disgrace, for all people are descendants of Adam, and they are equal in human imperfection. No one has superiority over another except through piety and righteous deeds. It is enough disgrace and shame for a man to be foul-mouthed, obscene, and miserly.
