Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ كُنْتُ لَا أُحْجَبُ عَنْ النَّجْوَى وَلَا عَنْ كَذَا وَلَا عَنْ كَذَا قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ فَنَسِيَ وَاحِدَةً وَنَسِيتُ أَنَا وَاحِدَةً قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَعِنْدَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ مُرَارَةَ الرَّهَاوِيُّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ قُسِمَ لِي مِنْ الْجِمَالِ مَا تَرَى فَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْ النَّاسِ فَضَلَنِي بِشِرَاكَيْنِ فَمَا فَوْقَهَا أَفَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْبَغْيُ قَالَ لَا لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِالْبَغْيِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبَغْيَ مَنْ بَطِرَ قَالَ أَوْ قَالَ سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Isma'il, from Ibn 'Awn, from 'Amr ibn Sa'id, from Humayd ibn 'Abd al-Rahman — that he said: 'Ibn Mas'ud said: I was never excluded from private consultations [al-najwa], nor from such-and-such, nor from such-and-such. Ibn 'Awn said: He forgot one thing and I forgot one thing. He said: I came to him and Malik ibn Murara al-Rahawi was with him. I caught the end of his speech, in which he was saying: O Messenger of Allah, I have been blessed with beauty as you can see — and I would not wish for anyone to surpass me even by the value of a sandal strap or more. Is that not kibr [arrogance]? He said: No, that is not arrogance. Arrogance is the one who scorns the truth [batira al-haqq] — or he said: treats the truth with contempt [safiha al-haqq] — and despises people.'
