Abu Huraire reported that he saw a person whose lower garment bad been trailing. and he was striking the ground with his foot (conceitedly). He was the Amir of Bahrain and it was being said: Here comes the Amir, here comes the Amir. He (Abu Huraira) reported that Allah's Messenger said: Allah will not look toward him who trails his lower garment out of pride.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، وَرَأَى، رَجُلاً يَجُرُّ إِزَارَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَضْرِبُ الأَرْضَ بِرِجْلِهِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ الأَمِيرُ جَاءَ الأَمِيرُ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَنْ يَجُرُّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about avoiding pride and arrogance. It was narrated by Abu Huraira, who saw a person whose lower garment was trailing on the ground while he was striking it with his foot in a conceited manner. People were saying “here comes the Amir of Bahrain”, referring to him with respect due to his position. However, Allah's Messenger said that Allah will not look towards someone who trails their lower garment out of pride. This hadith teaches us that we should not be proud or arrogant as it is displeasing to Allah and can lead us away from His mercy. We should also remember that no matter what our status or position is, we must remain humble and modest at all times if we want to please Allah.
