Hadith #14
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَيَزِيدُ قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ كُنْتُ لَا أُحْبَسُ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ فَنَسِيَ عَمْرٌو وَاحِدَةً وَنَسِيتُ أَنَا أُخْرَى وَبَقِيَتْ هَذِهِ عَنْ النَّجْوَى عَنْ كَذَا وَعَنْ كَذَا قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَعِنْدَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ مُرَارَةَ الرَّهَ
اوِيُّ قَالَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ قَدْ قُسِمَ لِي مِنْ الْجَمَالِ مَا تَرَى فَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْ النَّاسِ فَضَلَنِي بِشِرَاكَيْنِ فَمَا فَوْقَهُمَا أَفَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْبَغْيَ قَالَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِالْبَغْيِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبَغْيَ مَنْ سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ أَوْ بَطِرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Ibn Abi 'Adiyy and Yazid, from Ibn 'Awn, from 'Amr ibn Sa'id, from Humayd ibn 'Abd al-Rahman — that Ibn Mas'ud said: 'I was never kept from [attending] three [kinds of gatherings].' Ibn 'Awn said: ''Amr forgot one of them, and I forgot another; and this one remained: [being kept from private conversation, and from such-and-such, and from such-and-such].' He [the narrator] said: I came to him while Malik ibn Murara al-Rahawi was with him. I caught the end of his speech — he was saying: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am a man who has been given beauty, as you see, and I would not like anyone to surpass me even by two sandal straps or more — is that not arrogance [kibr]?' He [the Prophet ﷺ] said: 'That is not arrogance. Rather, arrogance is one who rejects the truth — or he said: treats the truth with contempt — and looks down on people.'
