ahmad-zuhd:285ʿAbdullāh > Bī > ʿAlī b. Thābit > Hishām b. Saʿd > Zayd b. Aslam > ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Noah advised his son before he died." He mentioned something similar to the hadith of Yazid bin Al-Mujabbir who said, "As for the two things that are forbidden, they are pride and associating partners with Allah." Then Abdullah bin Amr said, "O Messenger of Allah, is it considered pride if I have good clothing that I wear?" He said, "No, indeed Allah is beautiful and loves beauty." He said, "Is it considered pride if I have a good and noble horse that I ride?" He said, "No." He said, "Is it considered pride if I have companions who follow me and I feed them?" He said, "No." He said, "Then what is pride, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "To reject the truth and despise people." Ali said, "I asked Hisham, what does it mean to 'despise people'?" He said, "To belittle them."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٨٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أبِي حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَوْصَى نُوحٌ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ابْنَهُ» فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُجَبَّرِ قَالَ «وَأَمَّا اللَّتَانِ أَنْهَاكَ عَنْهُمَا فَالْكِبْرُ وَالشِّرْكُ» فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْكِبْرُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي حُلَّةٌ حَسَنَةٌ أَلْبَسُهَا؟ قَالَ «لَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ» قَالَ فَالْكِبْرُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي دَابَّةٌ صَالِحَةٌ أَرْكَبُهَا؟ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَ فَالْكِبْرُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي أَصْحَابٌ يَتْبَعُونَنِي وَأُطْعِمُهُمْ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَ فَبِمَ الْكِبْرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تُسَفِّهَ الْحَقَّ وَتَغْمِصَ» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قُلْتُ لِهِشَامٍ مَا «تَغْمِصَ» ؟ قَالَ تَعِيبُهُ
