حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الرَّقِّيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ جَمِيعًا , عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ , عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ , وَلَا يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “No one will enter Paradise who has pride in his heart equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and no one will enter Hell who has faith in his heart equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed.”

Brief Explanation
1؎ : Thus, it is understood that if a person possesses even a mustard seed's weight of faith (iman), he will not display arrogance or pride. And when he does exhibit pride, it should be understood that he does not possess even an atom's weight of faith, and his entry into Paradise (Jannah) becomes difficult. Therefore, a person should, as much as possible, keep away from this (arrogance), and should supplicate to Allah Ta'ala for deliverance from it, so that he may depart from this world with a pure heart and a humble nature, and by the blessing of faith and righteous deeds (amal salih), become deserving of Allah's mercy, and Paradise be his final abode.
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The greatest form of arrogance is the rejection of the truth.
Denying the virtues of others and belittling them is also arrogance.
The Prophetic statement:
(al-kibru bataru al-haqqi wa ghamtu al-nas) (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Iman, Chapter: The Prohibition and Explanation of Arrogance, Hadith: 19)
“Arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down upon people.”
➋
Even the slightest amount of arrogance is a cause of Allah’s displeasure.
➌
Whoever, due to arrogance, refuses to believe in Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) or in the commands of Allah, is destined for Hellfire.
If a person boasts because of wealth, beauty, strength, knowledge, lineage, etc., and considers himself superior to others, then this too is committing a major sin.

The meaning is entering Paradise before anyone else; otherwise, every monotheist, after undergoing punishment, will enter Paradise, insha Allah.
2:
The meaning is entering Hellfire like the disbelievers; that is, he will not enter Hellfire for eternity, but rather, after serving his punishment, he will eventually enter Paradise, insha Allah.

Benefits and Issues:
Arrogance that entails denial of Allah Almighty and associating partners with Him is, under no circumstances, forgiven.
The general type of arrogance that is found in people’s nature, whereby they display superiority over others—as will be mentioned in the next hadith—is also a reprehensible trait. If Allah Almighty does not forgive it, then its punishment is also deprivation from Paradise. However, even the slightest amount of faith will ultimately be rewarded with Paradise. If there is punishment for sins, then, inshaAllah, by the grace of Allah Almighty, the person will eventually be admitted into Paradise.
Thus, the meaning of “a believer will not enter Hellfire” is that he will not enter it forever; it is possible for him to enter temporarily as a punishment.

Commentary:
(1)
Arrogance (takabbur) is a highly reprehensible trait. The reality of arrogance becomes clear from the statement of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam:
(al-kibru bataru al-haqqi wa ghamtu al-nas) (Sahih Muslim, Iman, Chapter: The Prohibition and Explanation of Arrogance, Hadith: 91)
Arrogance means to reject the truth and to look down upon people.
(2)
If, due to arrogance, one refuses to believe in the words of Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then its punishment is eternal Hellfire, because this is entirely contrary to faith. And if the arrogance is of the type that a person, due to wealth, beauty, status, position, etc., looks down upon others or, due to stubbornness, refuses to accept the truth, then this arrogance too is severely disliked by Allah Ta'ala, because of which he will not be able to enter Paradise without first suffering the punishment of Hellfire—unless Allah Ta'ala, by His special grace, forgives him.
