Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: We were present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a resident of a town came wearing a cloak of Sayjan, whose buttons were of silk, and said: Beware! This companion of yours (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) has lowered the status of horsemen and elevated the honor of shepherds. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) grabbed him by the collar of his cloak and said: Do I not see upon you the clothing of those who are foolish? Then he said: When the time of death for Allah’s Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) approached, he said to his son: I am going to state a will before you; I command you with two things and forbid you from two things. I command you with La ilaha illallah, for if the seven heavens and the seven earths were placed on one side of the scale and La ilaha illallah on the other, La ilaha illallah would outweigh them. And if the seven heavens and the seven earths were to become a closed ring, La ilaha illallah would break it. And (the second thing) is Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi; these words are the prayer of everything, and through them the creation is provided sustenance. And I forbid you from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and arrogance. I or someone else said: O Messenger of Allah! We recognize shirk, but what is arrogance? Is arrogance that a man’s shoes and their straps are good? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. Someone said: Then is arrogance that a man has friends who sit with him? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. Then someone said: O Messenger of Allah! Then what is arrogance? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: To reject the truth and to look down upon people (that is arrogance).
