99 - Unacceptability of arrogance and conceit

عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: قال اللهُ - عزَّ وجلَّ -: «الكِبْرياءُ رِدائي، والعَظَمةُ إزاري، فمَن نازَعَني واحدًا منهما، قَذَفْتُه في النارِ».


Abu Sa‘īd and Abu Hurayrah narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: 

1. Greatness is His garment  

2. and pride is His cloak.  

3. I shall punish anyone who competes with Me.
