(9) – باب فِي كَرَاهِيَةِ الرِّفْعَةِ فِي الأُمُورِ
(9) – Regarding exaltation being disliked in (worldly) matters
Sunan Abu Dawood 4803
Narrating this story Anas reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying:
It is Allah’s right that nothing should become exalted in the world but he lowers it.
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ " إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لاَ يَرْتَفِعَ شَىْءٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ وَضَعَهُ " .
