. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Allah, the
Exalted, says: `Honour is My Izar and Pride is My Cloak. Whoever vies with Me regarding one of them, shall be
tormented.'''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
According to this Hadith, power and superiority
(honour)
, greatness and grandeur are Divine
attributes alone. If anybody tries to invest himself with these attributes or claims them, it means that he is audacious
enough to claim godhood. Allah says that it is the result of His sheer Grace to a man if he enjoys these qualities in a
restricted measure, and he is supposed to be obedient and grateful to Him for that. In no manner does it behave him
to trumpet his own grandeur and greatness. If someone out-steps his limits in this regard, he will get himself into
Hell. The Hadith is a signal of warning to men that they must not boast of their power and behave arrogantly
towards their fellow-humans.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"While a man was
walking, dressed in clothes admiring himself, his hair combed, walking haughtily when Allah caused the earth to
swallow him. Now he will continue to go down in it (as a punishment) until the Day of Resurrection.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith warns us against self-praise and arrogance which may pervade our hearts by fine clothes
and physical beauty. Instead of adopting a proud attitude, we should be sensible enough to thank Allah for these
favours and confess our servitude to Him.

Salamah bin Al-Akwa` (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Man
continues to display haughtiness and arrogance until he is recorded among the arrogant and will be therefore
afflicted with what afflicts them.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
To adopt the habits and manners of good people is deemed to be desirable. But, on the contrary, to
take to the bad ways of bad people is considered undesirable. A man will ultimately be counted among those people
whom he will take as a model to emulate, because he is gradually fitted into their framework and assimilates all of
their qualities. Quite naturally then retribution will be administered to him accordingly.
