حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : " أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا جَمِيلًا ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْجَمَالُ وَأُعْطِيتُ مِنْهُ مَا تَرَى حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوقَنِي أَحَدٌ ، إِمَّا قَالَ بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلِي ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ بِشِسْعِ نَعْلِي ، أَفَمِنَ الْكِبْرِ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ : مَنْ بَطِرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: A man who was beautiful came to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Messenger of Allah, I am a man who likes beauty, and I have been given some of it, as you see. And I do not like that anyone excels me (in respect of beauty). Perhaps he said: "even to the extent of thong of my sandal (shirak na'li)", or he he said: "to the extent of strap of my sandal (shis'i na'li)". Is it pride? He replied: No, pride is disdaining what is true and despising people.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Considering others to be inferior to oneself, and rejecting the truth after it has become clear and not acting upon it, are extremely major sins.
➋ The desire for and adoption of outward adornments and beautification is not prohibited. Allah the Exalted has said: Say, who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the pure things of sustenance? Say, these blessings are originally for the believers in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be exclusively for them.
