Hadith 427
۞
1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Kufi, from Ali bin Nu’man, from Abdullah bin Talha, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said
The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Paradise will never be entered by a servant in whose heart is the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance, and the Fire will not be entered by a servant in whose heart is the weight of a mustard seed of faith. I said: May I be sacrificed for you, a man might wear a robe or ride an animal, and he would be about to become known for arrogance. He said: It is not that. Arrogance is only to deny the truth, whereas faith is to acknowledge the truth.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن محمد بن علي الكوفي، عن علي بن النعمان، عن عبد الله بن طلحة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لن يدخل الجنة عبد في قلبه مثقال حبة من خردل من كبر، ولا يدخل النار عبد في قلبه مثقال حبة من خردل من إيمان. قلت: جعلت فداك إن الرجل ليلبس الثوب أو يركب الدابة فيكاد يعرف منه الكبر. قال: ليس بذاك إنما الكبر إنكار الحق، والايمان الاقرار بالحق.
