Words of the Holy Prophet, Sallallahu ʿAlayhi waalihi wa-sallam on the day of Victory

342. Hannaan, from his father, who has said: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام having said: ‘The Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم ascended the Pulpit on the day of victory over Makkah, so he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘O you people! Allah عز وجل has Taken away from you the pride of the era of the ignorance, and what you are boasting of with regards to your forefathers. Indeed! You are from Adam عليه السلام, and Adam is from clay. Indeed! The best of the servants of Allah عز وجل is a pious servant. The Arabic is not by a father and (grand) father, but it is a spoken tongue (language). So the one who is deficient in his deeds, his lineage would not help him. Indeed! Every blood (shed) during the era of ignorance, or feud – and the feud is the enmity – so it is now under my صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم feet. This is how it will be up to the Day of Judgement’.
