"اسْتَبَّ رجلان من بنى إسرائيل على عهد موسى، أحدهما كافرٌ والآخر مسلمٌ، فانْتسبَ الكافرُ إلى تسعة آباء، فقال المسلمُ: أنا فلان بن فلان، وبرئتُ ممَّنْ سواهم، فخرجَ مُنادِى موسى: أَيُّها المنتَسبان، قد قُضِيَ بينَكُمَا، ثم قال: أيها الكافِرُ، أما أنْتَ فانتسبْتَ إلى تسعة آباءٍ وأنْتَ عاشرُهُمْ في النَّارِ. وأمَّا أنتَ أيها المسلم فقَصَرْتَ على أبَوين مُسْلمينِ وتبرأتِ مِمَّنْ سواهم، فأنت من أَهْلِ الإِسلامِ وبرئتِ ممَّنْ سِوَاهُمْ".

"Two men from the Children of Israel quarrelled during the time of Musa. One of them was a disbeliever and the other a Muslim. The disbeliever traced his lineage back to nine fathers, while the Muslim said: I am so-and-so son of so-and-so, and I disown anyone other than them. Then the herald of Musa went out: O you two who claim lineage, judgement has been passed between you. Then he said: As for you, O disbeliever, you traced your lineage to nine fathers, and you are the tenth of them in the Fire. As for you, O Muslim, you confined yourself to two Muslim parents and disowned anyone other than them, so you are of the People of Islam, and you have disowned those other than them."
