قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا الْكِبْرُ فَقَالَ أَعْظَمُ الْكِبْرِ أَنْ تَسْفَهَ الْحَقَّ وَ تَغْمِصَ النَّاسَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا سَفَهُ الْحَقِّ قَالَ يَجْهَلُ الْحَقَّ وَ يَطْعُنُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from someone else, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from his uncle Yaqoub Bin Salim, from Abdul A’ala, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What is the arrogance?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The greatest of the arrogance is that you consider the Truth as foolish and you belittle the people (of Truth)’. I said, ‘And what is considering the Truth as foolish?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Ignoring the Truth and his criticizing the people of Truth’.
