Sunan Abi Dawud 4092 (Book 34, Hadith 73) #24382
Pride Is Not About Beauty

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who was beautiful and wanted to make sure no one was more beautiful than him. The Prophet (PBUH) explained that pride is not about physical beauty, but rather it is about despising people and disdaining what is true.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: A man who was beautiful came to the Prophet . He said: Messenger of Allah, I am a man who likes beauty, and I have been given some of it, as you see. And I do not like that anyone excels me (in respect of beauty). Perhaps he said: "even to the extent of thong of my sandal (Shirak na'li)", or he he said: "to the extent of strap of my sandal (shis'i na'li)". Is it pride? He replied: No, pride is disdaining what is true and despising people.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ - وَكَانَ رَجُلاً جَمِيلاً - فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ حُبِّبَ إِلَىَّ الْجَمَالُ وَأُعْطِيتُ مِنْهُ مَا تَرَى حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوقَنِي أَحَدٌ - إِمَّا قَالَ بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلِي ‏.‏ وَإِمَّا قَالَ بِشِسْعِ نَعْلِي - أَفَمِنَ الْكِبْرِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the concept of pride in Islam. It teaches us that pride has nothing to do with physical beauty or material possessions, but rather it has to do with how we treat other people and our attitude towards truth. Pride means looking down on others or thinking you are better than them because of your looks or possessions. It also means disregarding the truth and believing you know better than everyone else even when you don't have evidence for your beliefs. This hadith reminds us that we should always be humble, respect others, and accept the truth no matter what it may be.
