وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: « إِنِّي جَعَلْتُ نَسَبًا، وَجَعَلْتُمْ نَسَبًا، فَجَعَلْتُ أَكْرَمَكُمْ أَتْقَاكُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: يَا فُلَانُ ابْنَ فُلَانٍ، وَأَنَا أَكْرَمُ مِنْكَ، وَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ أَرْفَعُ نَسَبِي، وَأَضَعُ نَسَبَكُمْ، أَيْنَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ؟

✧ God, Mighty and Majestic, will say on the Day of Resurrection: 'I established a lineage, and you established a lineage. I made the noblest of you the most pious of you, but you say, "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so, I am nobler than you." Today I raise My lineage and lower your lineage. Where are the pious?'
