Riyad as-Salihin - Prohibition of pride and arrogance - Hadith

Chapter: On the
Prohibition of pride and arrogance

Allah Almighty says, "That Abode of the Next World: We grant it
to those who do not seek to exalt themselves in the earth or to cause
corruption in it. The successful outcome is for the godfearing,"
(28:83)

and the Almighty says, "Do not strut arrogantly about the earth."
(17:37)

The Almighty says, "'Do not avert your face from people out of
haughtiness and do not strut about arrogantly on the earth, Allah does not
love anyone who is vain of boastful,"
(W31;17; H31:18)

and the Almighty
says, "Qarun was one of the people of Musa but he lorded it over them. We
gave him treasures, the keys to which alone were a heavy weight for a party of
strong men. See when his people said to him, 'Do not gloat. Allah does not
love people who gloat.'"
(28:76)

612. 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No
one who has an atom's weight of pride in his heart will enter the Garden." A man
said, "And if the man likes his clothes to be good and his sandals to be good?"
He said, "Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty. Pride means to renounce the truth
and abase people." [Muslim]

613. Salama ibn 'Amr ibn al-Akwa' reported that a man ate with the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, using his left hand, and he
said, "Eat with your right hand." He said, "I cannot." He said, "Then you
cannot." Only pride had stopped him." He said, "He could not raise it to his
mouth." [Muslim]

614. Haritha ibn Wahb said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, 'Shall I tell you about the people of the Fire?
All those who are coarse, domineering, and arrogant.'" [Agreed upon]

615. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "The Garden and the Fire argued and the
Fire said, 'I have the tyrants and the arrogant.' The Garden said, 'I have the
weak and poor people.' Allah judged between them, 'You, the Garden, are My
mercy. By you I show mercy to whomever I wish. You, the Fire, are My punishment
by whom I punish whomever I will. It is My duty to fill both of you." [Muslim]

616. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "On the Day of Rising, Allah will not look at anyone
who drags his waist-wrapper out of pride." [Agreed upon]

617. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "There are three people that Allah will not speak to
on the Day of Rising nor purify nor look at and they will have a painful
punishment: an old adulterer, a lying ruler and a poor person who is arrogant."
[Muslim]

618. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, said, 'Might is My
wrapper, and pride is My cloak and I will punish any one who contends with me
[for them]." [Muslim]

619. Abu Hurayra reported that Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Once a man was walking in his robe, proud of himself,
his hair groomed, haughty in his gait, and Allah caused the earth to swallow him
up. He will go on sinking into the earth until the Day of Rising." [Agreed upon]

620. Salama ibn al-Akwa' reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, aid, "A man will continue to be arrogant until he
is written among the tyrants and what strikes them will strike him."
