A man who was beautiful came to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Messenger of Allah, I am a man who likes beauty, and I have been given some of it, as you see. And I do not like that anyone excels me (in respect of beauty). Perhaps he said: "even to the extent of thong of my sandal (shirak na'li)", or he he said: "to the extent of strap of my sandal (shis'i na'li)". Is it pride? He replied: No, pride is disdaining what is true and despising people.

حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى الْحِيرِيُّ ثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَبَّانِيُّ ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ثَنَا أَبُو بَحْرٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْبَكْرَاوِيُّ ثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْجَمَالُ وَأُعْطِيتُ مِنْهُ مَا تَرَى حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوقَنِي أَحَدٌ بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلِي أَوْ شِسْعِ نَعْلِي أَفَمِنَ الْكِبْرِ هَذَا؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَصَ النَّاسَ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ
