Sunan Abu Dawud #4989

General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها، قَالَتْ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْسُبُ أَحَدًا إِلاَّ إِلَى الدِّينِ ‏.‏
I never heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) attributing anyone to anything except to religion.
Narrated by Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

Context

In this hadith narrated by Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin, she emphasizes that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) consistently attributed individuals only to their religious identity. This reflects the significance of faith in defining a person's character and standing in society, highlighting the importance of viewing others through the lens of their beliefs rather than their social status or lineage.

Modern Application

In today's diverse society, this principle encourages us to recognize and respect individuals primarily for their beliefs and values. It fosters a sense of unity and understanding, reminding us that our shared faith can transcend differences in background or culture.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prophetic Conduct and Prophetic Teachings because it illustrates how the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) prioritized religious identity in his interactions with others.
