ahmad-zuhd:2245ʿAbdullāh from my father > Hushaym > Manṣūr b. Zādhān > Mujāhid > ʾabī Samiʿah from Mujāhid > Mursal Lah

[Machine] Every human being has an angel that takes hold of their nape. If they are arrogant, Allah and an angel put them down, but if they are humble, Allah and an angel elevate them.  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٤٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي سَمِعَهُ مِنْ مُجَاهِدٍ؟ قَالَ مُرْسَلٌ لَهُ قَالَ

«مَا مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَمَلَكٌ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ فَإِنْ تَكَبَّرَ وَضَعَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ وَمَلَكٌ آخِذٌ بِحَكَمَتِهِ فَإِنْ تَوَاضَعَ رَفَعَهُ»
