Question

What is the definition of pride in Hadith?

 

Answer

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) has defined pride in the following Hadith:

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “The person who has the weight of a mustard seed of pride in his heart, will not enter Jannah. Someone said, ‘A man likes his clothing and shoes to be beautiful/superior’ [i.e., will this be regarded as pride?]. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘Allah is certainly beautiful and he loves beauty. Pride is disdaining the truth [due to self conceit and arrogance] and contempt for people.”

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 91)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

صحيح مسلم:
(٩١) – حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، ومحمد بن بشار، وإبراهيم بن دينار، جميعا عن يحيى بن حماد، قال ابن المثنى: حدثني يحيى بن حماد، أخبرنا شعبة، عن أبان بن تغلب، عن فضيل الفقيمي، عن إبراهيم النخعي، عن علقمة، عن عبد الله بن مسعود، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «لا يدخل الجنة من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من كبر» قال رجل: إن الرجل يحب أن يكون ثوبه حسنا ونعله حسنة، قال: «إن الله جميل يحب الجمال، الكبر بطر الحق، وغمط الناس».
في الحاشية:
(بطر الحق) هو دفعه وإنكاره ترفعا وتجبرا (غمط الناس) معناه احتقارهم يقال في الفعل منه غمطه يغمطه وغمطه يغمطه.
