بَابُ الْكِبْرِChapter: Arrogance
Hadith 556
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ جَمِيلاً، فَقَالَ: حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْجَمَالُ، وَأُعْطِيتُ مَا تَرَى، حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوقَنِي أَحَدٌ، إِمَّا قَالَ: بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلٍ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: بِشِسْعٍ أَحْمَرَ، الْكِبْرُ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: ”لَا، وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ، وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he was extremely handsome. He said: "I love beauty very much, and you see what I have been given. My condition is such that I do not even like that anyone should surpass me even in the strap of a sandal. Is this arrogance?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not arrogance. Arrogance is to reject the truth and to look down upon people."
