What is the authenticity and explanation of the following hadiths: "He is not of us who calls to 'asabiyyah (tribalism/nationalism/partisanship), or who fights for 'asabiyyah, or who dies for 'asabiyyah," and "Leave it, for it is putrid," and "Whoever calls to 'asabiyyah is as if he bit his father's penis"?
Islam condemns blind partisanship to a tribe, country, or race, which calls for supporting the oppressor, and considers it among the calls of the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah). The prophetic hadiths confirm this meaning, as a believer supports the truth and prevents injustice, and does not differentiate between people based on their affiliation. It has been narrated in authentic hadiths the condemnation of "partisanship" (asabiyyah) and "the calls of Jahiliyyah," and a warning to whoever fights or dies upon it, stating that whoever does so, their death is a death of Jahiliyyah. Islam calls for using strong language against those who advocate for the partisanship of Jahiliyyah, as a form of rebuke and reprimand.
