حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي الدَّسْتُوَائِيَّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَفْتَخِرُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَمَا يُدَهْدِهُ الْجُعَلُ بِمَنْخَرَيْهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2739
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Do not boast about your forefathers who died during the time of Jahiliyyah, for by the One in Whose hand is my soul, what the dung beetle rolls with its nose is better than your forefathers who died in Jahiliyyah."
