وَقَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:

« مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَمُوتُ وَفِي قَلْبِهِ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ، إِلَّا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ فِي النَّارِ »، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ، بِحِمَالَةِ سَيْفِي، وَبِغَسْلِ ثِيَابِي مِنَ الدَّرَنِ، وَبِحُسْنِ الشِّرَاكِ وَالنِّعَالِ، فَقَالَ: « لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ أَعْنِي، إِنَّمَا الْكِبْرُ مَنْ سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ، وَغَمَصَ النَّاسَ »، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، وَمَا السَّفَهُ عَنِ الْحَقِّ، وَغَمْصُ النَّاسِ ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ: « السَّفَهُ عَنِ الْحَقِّ: أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَالٌ، فَيُنْكِرُ ذَلِكَ، وَيَزْعُمُ أَنْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ، فَيَأْمُرُهُ رَجُلٌ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ فَيَأْبَى، وَأَمَّا الْغَمْصُ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي يَجِيءُ النَّاسَ شَامِخًا بِأَنْفِهِ، وَإِذَا رَأَى ضُعَفَاءَ النَّاسِ وَفُقَرَاءَهُمْ لَمْ يُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ إِلَيْهِمْ مَحْقَرَةً لَهُمْ، فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَغْمِصُ النَّاسَ »، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: « مَنْ رَقَّعَ ثَوْبَهُ، وَخَصَفَ نَعْلَهُ، وَرَكِبَ الْحِمَارَ، وَعَادَ الْمَمْلُوكَ إِذَا مَرِضَ، وَحَلَبَ الشَّاةَ، فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ الْعَظَمَةِ

✧ 'There is no man on earth who dies with an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart except that God will place him in the Fire.' A man from the Ansar said, 'O Messenger of God, I love beauty, in the strap of my sword, and washing my clothes from dirt, and in fine shoelaces and sandals.' He said, 'That is not what I mean; arrogance is only one who rejects the truth and disparages people.' He said, 'O Prophet of God, what is rejecting the truth and disparaging people?' He ﷺ said, 'Rejecting the truth is that you have a debt owed by a man, and he denies it, claiming he owes nothing, and a man commands him to fear God but he refuses. As for disparagement, it is one who approaches people with his nose in the air, and when he sees the weak and poor among people, he does not greet them or sit with them out of contempt for them; that is one who disparages people.' The Prophet ﷺ then said, 'Whoever patches his garment, mends his sandal, rides a donkey, visits the sick slave, and milks the sheep has freed himself from pride.'
