Question:

Does any muslim know any ayah or hadith about ancestors...i can't find any!? May Allah Bless whoever answers.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: we cannot inherit sins from our relatives or the ancestors. It is explained beautifully in 35:18 that even if we were related, we cannot carry part of their sins. But we may incur the sins of people if we cause them to be misled

The Holy Nabi, Blessings and Peace be upon him, has referred to his ??descent through the ancestors?? in the following three hadiths:

??I have been sent as a Nabi in the best of all the generations of Adam??s offspring, generation after generation, until I came to be in the generation that I came to be?? (Bukhari, Book of the Virtues and Merits of the Nabi and Companions).

??I was cast into the clay of Adam and was the promise of my father Ibrahim and the good news of `Isa ibn Maryam?? (Several chains in Ahmad 4:127-128, Bayhaqi in the Shu`ab #1385 and in Dala??il al-nubuwwa 1:83, 2:130 and Hakim, Dhahabi weakens it, but Qadi `Iyad cites it in the Shifa among his ??sound and well-known traditions??).

??When Allah created Adam, He made me descend to the earth in his loins. He put me in the loins of Nuh in the Ark and cast me into the fire in the loins of Ibrahim. Then he continued to move me from noble loins to pure wombs until He brought me out from my parents. None of them ever met in fornication.?? (Ibn Abi `Umar al-`Adani relates in his ??Musnad??, al-Tilimsani cites it, and Qadi `Iyad included it among his ??sound and well-known traditions.??)
