Allah (azwj) 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 (as), and Adam is from clay. Indeed! The best of the servants of Allah (azwj) 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 (saww) feet. This is how it will be up to the Day of Judgement’.
