Musnad Ahmad Hadith 22935

It is narrated from Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that once ‘Uyainah bin Badr, Aqra‘ bin Habis, and ‘Alqamah bin ‘Ullathah were gathered in the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). These people began to discuss their ancestors. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: If you people remain silent, I will tell you the reality about them. The ancestor of Banu ‘Amir is like that red or wheat-colored camel which is eating the leaves of various trees in a garden. The ancestor of Banu Ghatafan is like that rough hill which keeps people away from itself. Upon this, Aqra‘ bin Habis said: Where did the ancestor of Banu Tamim go? The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Alas! If only you could remain silent.
