The Danger of Pride

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عِصَامٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ بِمِثْلِهِ وَقَالَ فِي الإِنَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:

This hadith warns us against having pride in our hearts as it can prevent us from entering paradise. Pride involves looking down on others or disregarding truth out of self-conceit which are both wrong according to Islam. We must remember that Allah loves gracefulness so we should strive to be humble instead of proud in order to gain His pleasure and enter paradise when we die.
