Al-Sokuni narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said
“Whenever you like one of your Muslim brothers, you should ask his name, his father's name, the name of his tribe, and his nationality. This is necessary and true brotherhood demands these questions to be asked. Otherwise this kind of simply knowing each other is foolish.”
عن السكوني قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إذا أحب أحدكم أخاه المسلم فليسأله عن اسمه واسم أبيه وقبيلته وعشيرته، فإنه من الحق الواجب و صدق الإخاء أن يسأله عن ذلك وإلا فإنها معرفة حمقاء.
