حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ثنا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ سَوَادَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو كَانَ رَجُلًا جَمِيلًا قَالَ
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُعْطِيتُ مِنَ الْحُسْنِ وَالْجَمَالِ وَحُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ فَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفْضُلَنِي أَحَدٌ بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلِي أَفَمِنَ الْكِبْرِ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطِرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَصَ النَّاسَ»

✧ O messenger of Allah, I have been given handsomeness and beauty, and it has been made beloved to me, so I do not love for anyone to excel me in the strap of my sandal. Is that from arrogance? He said, "No, but arrogance is whoever rejects the truth and despises people."
