حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: نَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ قَالَ: نَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
لَا تَفْتَخِرُوا بِآبَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَمَا يُدَحْرِجُ الْجُعَلُ بِأَنْفِهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ آبَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ
