حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ وَلاَ يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ يَعْنِي مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ " . قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِنَّهُ يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يَكُونَ ثَوْبِي حَسَنًا وَنَعْلِي حَسَنَةً . قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَصَ النَّاسَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي تَفْسِيرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ " لاَ يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ " . إِنَّمَا مَعْنَاهُ لاَ يُخَلَّدُ فِي النَّارِ . وَهَكَذَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ " . وَقَدْ فَسَّرَ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ : (رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ مَنْ تُدْخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُ ) . فَقَالَ مَنْ تُخَلِّدُ فِي النَّارِ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, both saying: Yahya ibn Hammad narrated to us: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Aban ibn Taghlib, from Fudayl ibn ‘Amr, from Ibrahim, from ‘Alqamah, from ‘Abd Allah, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “No one with even an atom’s weight of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise, and no one with even an atom’s weight of faith in his heart will enter the Fire.” A man said to him, “I like my clothes and sandals to be fine.” He replied: “Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is rejecting the truth and looking down on people.” Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih gharib.
Some scholars explained the words “No one with an atom’s weight of faith in his heart will enter the Fire” to mean that he will not remain in the Fire forever. A similar report from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri, from the Prophet ﷺ, says: “Whoever has an atom’s weight of faith in his heart will come out of the Fire.” More than one of the Successors interpreted the verse, “Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire, You have disgraced him,” to mean: “Whoever You cause to remain in the Fire forever, You have disgraced.” Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih gharib.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source itself interprets the second clause as exclusion from eternal residence in the Fire and supplies a parallel report about emerging from it. Pride is defined here as rejecting truth and looking down on people.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ وَلاَ يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ يَعْنِي مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ " .
The matn says a person with an atom’s weight of faith will not enter the Fire; the commentary immediately explains this as not remaining there eternally.
Does the translation retain the matn first and then present the source’s own explanation without silently changing it?
قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَصَ النَّاسَ " .
The report defines pride as batar al-haqq and ghamt al-nas: rejecting the truth and belittling people.
Does “looking down on people” preserve the second phrase without adding a separate legal definition?
إِنَّمَا مَعْنَاهُ لاَ يُخَلَّدُ فِي النَّارِ .
The commentary explains the negation as not remaining in the Fire forever.
Is the duration qualification clearly attributed to the scholars’ interpretation rather than inserted into the matn?
