Sunan Ibn Majah 4174 (Book 37, Hadith 75) #33530
The Danger of Pride and Greatness

SUMMARY: Allah warns against competing with Him in pride and greatness, as it will lead to punishment.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "Allah, the Glorified, says: 'Pride is My cloak and greatness My robe, and whoever competes with Me with regard to either of them, I shall throw him into Hell.’"
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنِ الأَغَرِّ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي وَالْعَظَمَةُ إِزَارِي مَنْ نَازَعَنِي وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمَا أَلْقَيْتُهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is a warning from Allah about the dangers of pride and greatness. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said that Allah says, “Pride is My cloak and greatness My robe, and whoever competes with Me with regard to either of them, I shall throw him into Hell." This hadith teaches us that we should not be proud or try to compete with Allah in any way. We should remember that He is greater than us in every way, so we should not try to compare ourselves to Him or think too highly of ourselves. Instead, we should strive for humility and modesty in our lives. We must also remember that if we do become too proud or arrogant, then there will be consequences for our actions - namely being thrown into hellfire.
