سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْكِبْرُ قَدْ يَكُونُ فِي شِرَارِ النَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ جِنْسٍ وَ الْكِبْرُ رِدَاءُ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ نَازَعَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رِدَاءَهُ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا سَفَالًا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَرَّ فِي بَعْضِ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ سَوْدَاءُ تَلْقُطُ السِّرْقِينَ فَقِيلَ لَهَا تَنَحَّيْ عَنْ طَرِيقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ الطَّرِيقَ لَمُعْرَضٌ فَهَمَّ بِهَا بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) دَعُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا جَبَّارَةٌ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The arrogance has happened to be in the evil people from every race, and the Pride is a Gown of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. So whoever disputes with Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic about His<sup>azwj</sup> Gown, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would not Increase him in except for the lowliness. Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> passed by one of the streets of Al-Medina and a black lady was scooping up the manure. So it was said to her, ‘Move aside from the way of Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>!’ So she said, ‘The road is open (wide enough)’. So, some of the people thought of grabbing her (and pushing her aside). So Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said: ‘Leave her, for she is tyrannial’ (bully).
