“I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a delegation from Kindah, and they thought that I was the best of them. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ are you not from among us?' He said: 'We are the tribe of Banu Nadr bin Kinanah, and we do not attribute ourselves to our mother and we do not deny our forefathers.'”He said: “Ash'ath bin Qais used to say: 'If any man is brought to me who suggests that a man from Quraish does not belong to Nadr bin Kinanah, I would carry out the legal punishment (for slander) on him.'”  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ كِنْدَةَ وَلاَ يَرَوْنِي أَفْضَلَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَسْتُمْ مِنَّا؟ فَقَالَ نَحْنُ بَنُو النَّضْرِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ لاَ نَقْفُو أُمَّنَا وَلاَ نَنْتَفِي مِنْ أَبِينَا قَالَ فَكَانَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ يَقُولُ لاَ أُوتَى بِرَجُلٍ نَفَى رَجُلاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنَ النَّضْرِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ إِلاَّ جَلَدْتُهُ الْحَدَّ

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدٍ لَا يَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أَفْضَلُهُمْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نَزْعُمُ أَنَّكُمْ مِنَّا قَالَ نَحْنُ بَنُو النَّضْرِ بْنُ كِنَانَةَ لَا نَقْفُو أُمَّنَا وَلَا نَنْتَفِي مِنْ أَبِينَا قَالَ فَكَانَ الْأَشْعَثُ يَقُولُ لَا أُوتَى بِرَجُلٍ نَفَى قُرَيْشًا مِنَ النَّضْرِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ إِلَّا جَلَدْتُهُ الْحَدَّ  

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a delegation from Kindah. Affan said, 'They do not see me as the best among them.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we assume that you are one of us?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'We are the sons of Nadr ibn Kinanah, we do not take refuge nor do we disown our forefathers.' Al-Ash'ath said, 'By Allah, I have never heard of anyone from Quraysh who has expelled anyone from the sons of Nadr ibn Kinanah except that I would flog him with the punishment.'"  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدٍ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ لَا يَرَوْنِي أَفْضَلَهُمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ مِنَّا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَحْنُ بَنُو النَّضْرِ بْنُ كِنَانَةَ لَا نَقْفُو أُمَّنَا وَلَا نَنْتَفِي مِنْ أَبِينَا قَالَ قَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ فَوَاللهِ لَا أَسْمَعُ أَحَدًا نَفَى قُرَيْشًا مِنَ النَّضْرِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ إِلَّا جَلَدْتُهُ الْحَدَّ  

" عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ فِى وَفْدٍ منْ كِنْدَةَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِنَّا نَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ مِنَّا. فَقَالَ: نَحْنُ بنو النَّضْرِ بنِ كِنَانَةَ لا نقفوا أُمَّنَا (*) وَلاَ ننتفى من (* *) أبينا ".
