It is narrated about Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that she was asked: What work did the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) do at home? Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: He used to wash his clothes like an ordinary person, milk his goat, and do his own work himself.

Urwah reports: I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): O Mother of the Believers, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with you, what would he do? Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: The same as any one of you does in his household chores. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would mend his own sandals, sew his own clothes, and repair his own bucket.

It is narrated about Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that she was asked: What work did the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) do at home? She replied: He used to sew his own clothes, mend his own shoes, and did all those tasks that men do in their homes.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Whoever adopts humility for the sake of Allah by one degree, Allah elevates his rank by one degree until He includes him among the highest of the high. And whoever shows arrogance against Allah by one degree, Allah lowers him by one degree until He includes him among the lowest of the low. If a person performs a deed inside a solid rock that has neither a door nor a window, Allah will make manifest even that thing which a person tried to hide from people, whatever it may be."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Whoever adopts humility for the sake of Allah by one degree," by this he means whoever adopts humility with the creation for the sake of attaining Allah's pleasure; thus, the word "creation" is omitted here. The statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Whoever shows arrogance," by this he means whoever deals arrogantly with Allah's creation; here too, the word "creation" is omitted, because whoever shows arrogance against Allah becomes a disbeliever.

Sayyiduna Haritha bin Wahb Khuzai (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Shall I not guide you to the people of Paradise? Every weak and poor person (is among the people of Paradise); if he swears by Allah's name, Allah fulfills it for him. And every arrogant and harsh-tempered person is among the people of Hell."

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person who has even a mustard seed's weight of arrogance in his heart will not enter Paradise, and a person who has even a mustard seed's weight of faith in his heart will not enter Hell."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This narration can have two meanings. One of them is what we have mentioned in one category: then, such a person will not enter Paradise who has in his heart arrogance equal to the weight of a mustard seed. By this, the higher level of Paradise is meant, where those people will enter who did not use to show arrogance. And the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): That person will not enter Hell who has in his heart faith equal to a mustard seed, by this the lower part of Hell is meant, where those people will enter who are not Muslims.

The second meaning is this: No such person will enter Paradise at all who has in his heart arrogance equal to a mustard seed, and here arrogance means shirk (associating partners with Allah), because a polytheist will never enter Paradise at all. The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): That person will not enter Hell who has in his heart faith equal to the weight of a mustard seed, by this you mean: not forever. In this way, both meanings become correct.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, whoever lets his garment hang below his ankles out of arrogance, Allah Almighty will not look at him with mercy on the Day of Resurrection."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) disliked wearing the lower garment below the ankles, women displaying their adornment to anyone other than their husbands, intercourse with a woman in her back passage, playing with dice, wearing a ring of brass (or using yellow color), changing the color of the hair, hanging amulets, and performing incantations; however, the ruling regarding the Mu'awwidhat (i.e., the two chapters of seeking refuge or supplicatory prayers for protection) is different.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) declared ten things as disliked: changing the color of white (hair), wearing a gold ring, playing with dice, performing ruqyah (incantations), hanging amulets, letting the lower garment hang (below the ankles), yellow (color), displaying adornment unlawfully, and removing water (i.e., semen) from its designated place (all these actions were declared disliked).

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from the Quraysh came to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said:“You narrate many ahadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); have you heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say anything about this cloak of mine?”So Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied:“If it were not for the command that Allah Almighty has mentioned in His Book, I would not narrate any hadith to you people. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘Among those before you, there was a man who was walking arrogantly; his hair and his garments had made him conceited. Allah Almighty caused the earth to swallow him up, and he will continue to sink in it until the Day of Resurrection.’”
