3761. It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The worst of all people in lying is a man who trades insults with another man, disparaging the entire tribe, and a man who denies his father and accuses his mother of adultery." (Hasan)
3761 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ النَّاسِ فِرْيَةً لَرَجُلٌ هَاجَى رَجُلًا، فَهَجَا الْقَبِيلَةَ بِأَسْرِهَا، وَرَجُلٌ انْتَفَى مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَزَنَّى أُمَّهُ»

a. Defamatory poetry is an evil act. Nevertheless, defaming those disbelievers who are in the state of war with Muslims is allowed, provided it does not include any Muslim. b. Tracing a person's lineage to a tribe other than his own tribe shows his acknowledgement that his real father is not the one who is thought as his father, instead his real father is from another tribe. As a result it shows that his mother is an adulteress; this proves the repulsiveness of this action.
