Ali Bin Ibrahiim, from his father, from Hammaad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said; ‘By Allah (azwj)! No one from the Arabs or the non-Arabs loves us (asws) except the people of noble houses, and the (noble) origins; and no one from these ones and those ones hates us (asws) except for all the filthy ones and of illegitimate origin’.
