Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنِ الْأَغَرِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّ
هِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَهُ فَقَالَ الْأَغَرِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي وَالْعِزَّةُ إِزَارِي فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمَا أُلْقِيهِ فِي النَّارِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from 'Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib, from al-Agharr — Sufyan said on the first occasion [the chain was attributed to] the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; then he re-narrated it saying: from al-Agharr, from Abu Hurayra, who said: Allah (عز وجل) says: 'Greatness [al-kibria'] is My cloak and majesty [al-'izza] is My garment [izar]. Whoever contends with Me for either of them, I will cast him into the Fire.'
