Sahih Muslim 52d (Book 1, Hadith 92) #7357
Pride vs Tranquility

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) taught that the highest level of disbelief is found in the East, pride and arrogance are found among those who own horses and camels, while tranquility is found among those who rear goats and sheep.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) remarked: The summit of unbelief is towards the East and the pride and conceitedness is found among the owners of horses and camels who are rude and uncivil, people of the tents, and tranquillity is found among those who rear goats and sheep.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ رَأْسُ الْكُفْرِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْفَخْرُ وَالْخُيَلاَءُ فِي أَهْلِ الْخَيْلِ وَالإِبِلِ الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ وَالسَّكِينَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الْغَنَمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us about different levels of faith. He said that the highest level of disbelief is towards the East. He also said that pride and conceit can be found among people who own horses or camels, as they tend to think highly of themselves due to their wealth. On the other hand, he said that tranquility can be found among people who rear goats or sheep as they are humble in nature. This hadith teaches us to stay away from arrogance and strive for humility instead. It also encourages us to stay away from materialistic pursuits which may lead us astray from our faith.
