Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو رَوَاحَةَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَيْهَمَ، عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الطَّائِيِّ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، قَالَ‏:‏ إِنَّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ مَصَالِيًا وَفُخُوخًا، وَإِنَّ مَصَالِيَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَفُخُوخَهُ‏:‏ الْبَطَرُ بِأَنْعُمِ اللهِ، وَالْفَخْرُ بِعَطَاءِ اللهِ، وَالْكِبْرِيَاءُ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ، وَاتِّبَاعُ الْهَوَى فِي غَيْرِ ذَاتِ اللهِ‏.‏

‘Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us; he said: Isma‘il narrated to us; he said: Abu Rawahah Yazid ibn Ayham narrated to me, from al-Haytham ibn Malik al-Ta’i, who said: I heard al-Nu‘man ibn Bashir say from the pulpit: “Satan has snares and traps. Among Satan’s snares and traps are exulting in Allah’s blessings, boasting of Allah’s gifts, acting arrogantly toward Allah’s servants, and following one’s desire in matters that are not for Allah.”
