Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Matar Bin Arqam who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying that Abul Aziz Bin Umar the governor sent an escort to me, so I asws went over to him, and in front of him were two men, one of them had grabbed his companions, so he scratched his face, and he (the governor) said, ‘What are you asws saying, O Abu Abdullah asws regarding these two men?’ I asws said, ‘And what did they both say?’ He said, ‘One of them said, ‘There is not merit for Rasool-Allah saww over anyone from the Clan of Umayya with regards to the nobility’, and the other one said to him, ‘He saww has the merit over the people, all of them, regarding every thing’, and the one who supported Rasool-Allah saww got angered, so he did with his face what you asws see. So is there anything upon him?’ So I asws said to him: ‘I asws think you have already asked the ones around you, so they have informed you’. So he said, ‘I swear to you asws , I have not said it’. So I asws said: ‘It would be befitting for the one who alleges that anyone is similar to Rasool-Allah azwj with regards to the merits, that he should be killed, and not be left to live’. So he said, ‘Or is not the nobility of descent, one?’ So I asws said:’ The nobility is not the lineage. Do you not see, if I asws were to lodge a man from some of these races, your poor ones, so I said, ‘This is the nobility (that would be allowed)’. So he said, ‘Is not the lineage, one?’ I asws said: ‘When it is gathered to Adam as , so the lineage is one, (except that) Rasool-Allah saww did not mix with Polytheism, nor unchasteness’. So the governor ordered it, so he was killed’.
