Hadith 9555

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ مَرْوَانُ يَسْتَخْلِفُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَيَضْرِبُ بِرِجْلِهِ ، فَيَقُولُ : خَلُّوا الطَّرِيقَ ، خَلُّوا ، قَدْ جَاءَ الْأَمِيرُ ، قَدْ جَاءَ الْأَمِيرُ ، قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ ، إِلَى مَنْ جَرَّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا " .
Muhammad bin Ziyad says that sometimes Marwan would appoint Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) as his deputy over Madinah. He would kick him with his foot and say, "Make way, the leader has come, the leader has come." And Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever, out of arrogance, drags his lower garment on the ground while walking, Allah will not look at him with mercy.
