قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَا عَلَّمَ نُوحٌ ابْنَهُ ؟ » » قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ ﷺ: « يَا بُنَيَّ، إِنِّي آمُرُكَ بِأَمْرَيْنِ، وَأَنْهَاكَ عَنْ أَمْرَيْنِ: أَنْهَاكَ أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكَ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا ; فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا، فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَنْهَاكَ عَنِ الْكِبْرِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ حَبَّةُ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ. وَآمُرُكَ بِقَوْلِ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، فَإِنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ لَوْ كَانَتْ حَلْقَةً قَصَمَتْهَا، وَآمُرُكَ بِسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، فَإِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْخَلْقِ، وَتَسْبِيحُ الْخَلْقِ، وَبِهَا يُرْزَقُ الْخَلْقُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمِنَ الْكِبْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلرَّجُلِ الدَّابَّةُ يَرْكَبُهَا، أَوِ الثَّوْبُ يَلْبَسُهُ، أَوِ الطَّعَامُ يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابَهُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا، وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ أَنْ يُسَفِّهَ الْحَقَّ، وَيَغْمِصَ النَّاسَ، وَسَأُنْبِئُكُمْ بِخَمْسٍ، مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَلَيْسَ مُتَكَبِّرًا: اعْتِقَالُ الشَّاهِ، وَلُبْسُ الصُّوفِ، وَرُكُوبُ الْحِمَارِ، وَمُجَالَسَةُ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَأَنْ يَأْكُلَ الرَّجُلُ مَعَ عِيَالِهِ

✧ 'Shall I teach you what Noah taught his son?' They said, 'Yes.' He ﷺ said, 'O my son, I command you with two things and forbid you from two things: I forbid you from associating anything with God, for whoever associates anything with God, God has forbidden Paradise to him; and I forbid you from arrogance, for no one whose heart contains a mustard seed of arrogance will enter Paradise. And I command you to say: There is no god but God alone, with no partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent, for if the heavens were a ring, it would break them. And I command you to say: Glory be to God and with His praise, for it is the prayer of creation and the glorification of creation, and by it creation is provided sustenance.' A man said, 'O Messenger of God, is it arrogance for a man to have a riding animal he rides, or a garment he wears, or food to which he invites his companions?' He ﷺ said, 'No, but arrogance is to reject the truth and disparage people. I shall inform you of five things; whoever has them is not arrogant: tethering a sheep, wearing wool, riding a donkey, sitting with the poor believers, and a man eating with his family.'
