The Qawl al-Nuniyyah (“Say in the name of Allah whenever you recite: May the mercy of Allah be upon your voice, O Qahtani”): Does this fall under boasting about lineage?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Al-Qahtani (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his Nuniyyah the boasting about his tribe, and he praised and eulogized them. Is this a form of boasting and arrogant pride?

The Shaykh:
What did he say, so we can see what Al-Qahtani said? Hmm?

The questioner:
He did not mention this, but when he said, “Say in the name of Allah whenever you recite: May the mercy of Allah be upon your voice, O Qahtani.”

The Shaykh:
He is asking for a supplication; he asked you for a supplication. He did not say “Al-Qahtani” in the sense of boasting or lineage; he is just clarifying which tribe he is from. There is no objection if he says, “I am a Dawsari, I am an Utaybi.” There is no objection if this is merely for the sake of information, not for the sake of boasting. Yes.
