Status of a Sayyad/Syed/Sayyid (a descendant from the family of the Holy Prophet [pbuh])?

>**Sayyads (descendants from the family of the Holy Prophet, pbuh)** are entitled to more respect, though they are equal in the eyes of Allah. Giving them Sadaqah (Charity) is also forbidden. What are the other rights of a Sayyad a **non-Sayyad** must remember? Does this concept of Sayyads not **divide** the Muslims, and create kibr(feeling of lordliness) among (modern) Sayyads? **Reference to Holy Scriptures** is highly appreciated. **Jazaakallah...**
