Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That person will not enter Hell in whose heart there is faith equal to a grain, and that person will not enter Paradise in whose heart there is arrogance equal to a grain. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! I like that my clothes are clean, my hair is oiled, the strap of my shoe is new. He mentioned more things, even mentioning the handle of his whip. O Messenger of Allah! Are these things included in arrogance? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, this is beauty and elegance, and indeed Allah Himself is Beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is that a person rejects the truth and considers people inferior.
