حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ الأَغَرِّ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: الْعِزُّ إِزَارِي، وَالْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي، فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُمَا عَذَّبْتُهُ.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said that Allah Almighty said, "Might is My wrapper and
pride is My cloak. I will punish anyone who contends with Me over either
of them."
Salih, the garment-seller, reported that his grandmother said,
"I saw 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, buy fates for a dirham and
put them in his blanket. I said to him (or a man said to him), 'I will
carry it for you, Amir al-Mu'minin.' He said, 'No, the father of the family
is the one who is the most entitled to carry it.'"
An-Nu'man ibn Bashir was heard to say on the minbar, "Shaytan has
snares and traps. The snares and traps of Shaytan are to exult ungratefully
in the blessings of Allah, to boast about the gifts of Allah, to have pride
at the expense of the slaves of Allah, and to follow passion for other
than the sake of Allah."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Someone who eats with his servant, rides
a donkey in the markets, and ties up his sheep and milks it is not proud."
