"ذُكِرَ الْكِبرُ عنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَدَّدَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الله لاَ يُحبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَال فَخُور، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: والله يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنِّي لأَغْسِلُ ثيَابِى فَيُعْجبُنِي بَيَاضها، وَيُعْجبُنى شِرَاك نَعْلِى، وَعِلاَقَة سَوْطِى، فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ، إِنَّمَا الْكِبْرُ أَنْ يُسَفَّهَ الْحَقُّ ويُغمَصَ النَّاسُ".

"Arrogance was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, and he spoke severely about it. He said: 'Indeed, Allah does not love any arrogant, boastful person.' A man from the people said: 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I wash my clothes and their whiteness pleases me, and the strap of my sandal and the handle of my whip please me.' He said: 'That is not arrogance. Arrogance is only that the truth is deemed foolish and people are looked down upon.'"
