Home Hadith Hadith 3359
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If somebody claims to be the son of any other than his real father knowingly, he
but disbelieves in Allah, and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong,
let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 18

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed by some people from the tribe of Aslam practicing archery. He said, "O
children of Ishmael! Throw (arrows), for your father was an archer. I am on the side of Bani so-andso,"
meaning one of the two teams. The other team stopped throwing, whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"What has happened to them?" They replied, "How shall we throw while you are with Bani so-andso?"
He said, "Throw for I am with all of you."
