Arabic text

٣٩٣١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌بِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ ‌سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «سَامٌ» أَبُو الْعَرَبِ، وَيَافِثُ أَبُو الرُّومِ، وَحَامٌ أَبُو الْحَبَشِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَيُقَالُ: يَافِثُ وَيَافِتُ وَيَفَثُ.

Commentary

Sām, Yāfith and Hām were the sons of Prophet Nūh. The human race spread from these three.
