Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ فَوْقَهُ فِي الْخَلْقِ أَوْ الْخُلُقِ أَوْ الْمَالِ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ دُونَهُ
English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj — traced to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Let not one of you look at whoever is above him in [physical] appearance, or character, or wealth — rather let him look at whoever is below him.'
