Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 556
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَكَانَ جَمِيلاً، فَقَالَ: حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْجَمَالُ، وَأُعْطِيتُ مَا تَرَى، حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوقَنِي أَحَدٌ، إِمَّا قَالَ: بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلٍ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: بِشِسْعٍ أَحْمَرَ، الْكِبْرُ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: لاَ، وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ، وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ.

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us; he said: ‘Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us; he said: Hisham narrated to us, from Muhammad, from Abu Hurayrah: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he was handsome. He said, “Beauty has been made beloved to me, and I have been given what you see, to the point that I do not like anyone to surpass me—not even by a sandal strap”—or he said, “by a red sandal thong.” Is that arrogance? He replied, “No. Rather, arrogance is rejecting the truth and looking down on people.”
