"عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّه بْنِ عَدِىِّ بْنِ الْخيارِ قَالَ: سمعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا تَواضَعَ للَّه (رَفَعَهُ اللَّه حكْمَةً)، وَقَالَ: (انتَعِشْ نَعَشَكَ) اللَّه وَهُوَ في نَفْسه حَقيرٌ، وفِى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ كبِيرٌ، وَإِذَا تَكبَّرَ وَعَدَا طَوْرَهُ وَهصَهُ اللَّه إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَقَالَ: اخْسَأ أخْسَأَكَ اللَّه، فَهُوَ فِى نَفْسِهِ كَبِيرٌ، وَفِى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ حَقِيرٌ، حَتَّى لَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْخِنْزِيرِ".

"'Ubaydullah ibn 'Adi ibn al-Khiyar said: I heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab say on the pulpit: "Indeed, when the servant humbles himself before Allah, Allah raises him in wisdom (and said: 'Rise up, may Allah raise your standing'). He is humble within himself and great in the eyes of the people. When he becomes arrogant and transgresses his limit, Allah presses him down to the earth and says: 'Be gone, may Allah banish you.' So he is great within himself and small in the eyes of the people, until he is more contemptible to them than a pig."
