Sahih al-Bukhari 5218 (Book 67, Hadith 151) #4997
Pride in Beauty is Not Always a Good Thing

SUMMARY: Umar warned his daughter Hafsa not to be misled by Aisha's beauty and pride, which was due to the love of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for her.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: that 'Umar entered upon Hafsa and said, "O my daughter! Do not be misled by the manners of her who is proud of her beauty because of the love of Allah's Messenger for her". By 'her' he meant 'Aisha'.Umar added, "Then I told that to Allah's Messenger and he smiled (on hearing that).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ دَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّةِ لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكِ هَذِهِ الَّتِي أَعْجَبَهَا حُسْنُهَا حُبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِيَّاهَا ـ يُرِيدُ عَائِشَةَ ـ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَسَّمَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of humility and modesty. It was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas that Umar entered upon his daughter Hafsa and warned her not to be misled by Aisha's beauty and pride, which was due to the love of Prophet Muhammad for her. Umar wanted his daughter to understand that being proud of one's beauty is not always a good thing, as it can lead people astray from their faith. He also wanted her to understand that even though Allah loves us all equally, we should still strive for humility in our lives so that we can stay close to Him. The lesson here is clear - no matter how beautiful or attractive someone may be, they should never let it get in the way of their faith or cause them to become arrogant or boastful about themselves. Instead, they should strive for humility and modesty at all times so that they can remain close with Allah Almighty.
