Chapter on what has been narrated regarding warning against arrogance and pride
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9723 — on what has been narrated regarding warning
عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ كُنْتُ لَا أُحْجَبُ عَنِ النَّجْوَى وَلَا عَنْ كَذَا وَلَا عَنْ كَذَا قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ فَنَسِيَ وَاحِدَةً وَنَسِيتُ أَنَا وَاحِدَةً قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَعِنْدَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ مُرَارَةَ الرَّهَاوِيُّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ قُسِمَ لِي مِنَ الْجَمَالِ مَا تَرَى فَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ فَضَلَنِي بِشِرَاكَيْنِ فَمَا فَوْقَهَا أَفَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْبَغْيَ قَالَ ((لَا لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ الْبَغْيَ لَكِنَّ الْبَغْيَ مَنْ بَطَرَ قَالَ أَوْ قَالَ سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was neither forbidden from whispering nor from such-and-such things. Ibn ‘Aun says: He forgot one thing and I did not remember the other. Then I came to him while Malik bin Mararah Rahawi was sitting with him and he was narrating a hadith. The last part of that hadith, which I heard, was this: He said: O Messenger of Allah! I have been given a considerable share of beauty and elegance, as you know. Now I wish that no man should surpass me even in the matter of two straps (i.e., shoes). Is this arrogance? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, this is not arrogance. Arrogance is to reject the truth and to look down upon people.
