Sunan Ibn Majah 3948 (Book 36, Hadith 23) #33303
The Danger of Tribalism

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned against fighting for the sake of tribalism and getting angry due to tribalism, as it is a sign of ignorance.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever fights under a banner of folly, supporting tribalism, or getting angry for the sake of tribalism, he dies in a state of ignorance".
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ غَيْلاَنَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ رِيَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَاتَلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عِمِّيَّةٍ يَدْعُو إِلَى عَصَبِيَّةٍ أَوْ يَغْضَبُ لِعَصَبِيَّةٍ فَقِتْلَتُهُ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against fighting for the sake of tribalism and getting angry due to tribalism, as it is a sign of ignorance. He said that anyone who fights under a banner of fitnah or asabiyyah - which means supporting one's own tribe or group - will die in a state of jahalah, or ignorance. This hadith teaches us that we should not be driven by our emotions when it comes to matters related to our tribes and groups; instead, we should strive for justice and fairness in all situations. We should also remember that anger can lead us astray from the path of righteousness if we are not careful.
