Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #558
General Behavior
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَكَانَ جَمِيلاً، فَقَالَ: حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْجَمَالُ، وَأُعْطِيتُ مَا تَرَى، حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوقَنِي أَحَدٌ، إِمَّا قَالَ: بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلٍ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: بِشِسْعٍ أَحْمَرَ، الْكِبْرُ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: لاَ، وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ، وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ.
Abu Hurayra reported that a man who was handsome came to the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "I love beauty and I
have been given what you see so I do not want anyone to be superior to
me (and he either said 'by the strap of a sandal' or 'by a red sandal-thong').
Is that pride?" "No," he replied. "Pride is when someone disdains the truth
and is contemptuous of people."
