Question
Did the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, forbid insulting Arabs because he, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, was an Arab? Who narrated this Hadeeth?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
We did not find any Hadeeth with this meaning, whether Saheeh, Hasan or Dha‘eef. The closest to this meaning is a Hadeeth indicating that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, encouraged the love of Arabs because he 
was an Arab, the language of the Quran is Arabic, and the inhabitants of Paradise speak Arabic. Al-Haakim, At-Tabaraani, Al-Bayhaqi and Al-‘Uqayli 
narrated this Hadeeth on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbaas 
. Al-Albaani 
said that this Hadeeth is fabricated.
