Chapter: Freedom from arrogance, and having humility
Hadith 4176
حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ , أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ , أَنَّ دَرَّاجًا حَدَّثَهُ , عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ , عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ , عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " مَنْ يَتَوَاضَعُ لِلَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ دَرَجَةً , يَرْفَعُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً , وَمَنْ يَتَكَبَّرُ عَلَى اللَّهِ دَرَجَةً , يَضَعُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً , حَتَّى يَجْعَلَهُ فِي أَسْفَلِ السَّافِلِينَ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever humbles himself one degree for the sake of Allah, Allah will raise him in status one degree, and whoever behaves arrogantly towards Allah one degree, Allah will lower him in status one degree, until He makes him among the lowest of the low.”
