[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Sam is the father of the Arabs, Japheth is the father of the Romans, and Ham is the father of the Abyssinians. And it is said that Ru'h (spirit) is in Baghdad under his protection, and the children of Noah are three: Sam, Ham, and Japheth."  

أحمد:٢٠١١٤ – حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَ الْحَسَنُ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَامُ أَبُو الْعَرَبِ وَيَافِثُ أَبُو الرُّومِ وَحَامُ أَبُو الْحَبَشِ وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ بِبَغْدَادَ مِنْ حِفْظِهِ وَلَدُ نُوحٍ ثَلَاثَةٌ سَامُ وَحَامُ وَيَافِثُ
