What did Prophet Muhammad (saw) say about the four characteristics of pre-Islamic period that his people did not abandon?
 Abu Malik al-Ash'ari reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:                      Among my people there are four characteristics belonging to pre-Islamic period which they do not abandon: boasting of high rank, reviling other peoples' genealogies, seeking rain by stars, and walling. And he (further) said: If the wailing woman does not repent before she dies, she will be made to stand on the Day of Resurrection wearing a garment of pitch and a chemise of mange.
