Majma al-Zawaid 17725 — Further reports on admonitions

Sayyiduna Nu'aym bin Hammar al-Ghatafani (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Evil is the servant who adopts arrogance and self-conceit and forgets the Most Great, the Most High. Evil is the servant who deceitfully seeks the world by means of religion. Evil is the servant who makes unlawful things lawful on the basis of doubtful matters. Evil is the servant who is enslaved by a desire that leads him astray. Evil is the servant who is enslaved by a craving that humiliates him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Talhah bin Zayd al-Raqqi, who is da'if (weak).
