Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
No one who has an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise. A man said: "A man likes his clothes to be nice and his shoes nice." He said: "Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is rejecting the truth and looking down on people."

لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ " . قَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ثَوْبُهُ حَسَنًا وَنَعْلُهُ حَسَنَةً . قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ
