(5). 3270. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave a Khutbah to the people on the day of the conquest of Makkah, and he said: "O you people! Verily Allāh has removed the slogans of Jāhiliyyah from you, and its reverence of its forefathers. So, now there are two types of men: A man who is righteous, has Taqwā and honorable before Allāh, and a wicked man, who is miserable and insignificant to Allāh. People are children of Ādam and Allāh created Ādam from the dust. Allāh said: O you people! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you with Allāh is the one who has the most Taqwā. Verily, Allāh is All-Knowing, All-Aware."[1] (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it as a narration of 'Abdullāh bin Dīnār from Ibn 'Umar, except through this route. 'Abdullāh bin Ja'far was graded weak – Yaḥyā bin Ma'īn and others graded him weak. ['Abdullāh bin Ja'far] is the father of 'Alī bin Al-Madīnī. [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah and 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās.

Commentary
All humans originated from Adam and Eve; therefore due to the origin and unanimity of creation, none has superiority and excellence over others. The family and tribal division are merely for introduction and identification. One's birth in a family or tribe is not a reason of distinction and superiority.
The people think and believe that the respect and honor is because of family background, but the respect and honor is because of piety before Allāh.
