Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When
a man has love for another man, he should tell him that he loves him,"
I would not have told you.'"

Hadith 545
صحيح الإسناد موقوفا ، وروي عنه مرفوعا — الألباني
When someone has love for a person, he should not quarrel with him nor ask about him
Mu'adh ibn Jabal said, "When you have love for your brother, do
not quarrel with him or treat him badly nor ask questions about him, It
may be that an enemy of his will appear and say something about him which
is not true and will thereby cause a split between you."
When someone has love for a person, he should not quarrel with him nor ask about him
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who has love for his brother in Allah
and for Allah should say, 'I love you for Allah,' and they will both enter
the Garden. The one who has love for someone in Allah has a degree over
the one he loves because of his love."
'Iyad ibn Khalifa heard 'Ali say at Siffin, "The intellect is located
in the heart. Mercy is located in the liver, Compassion is located in the
spleen. The self (nafs) is located in the lungs."
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said, "We were sitting with the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when a bedouin man wearing
a robe with a border approached him until he stood before the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, 'Your companion
has debased every horseman and elevates every shepherd.' The Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, took hold of the folds of his robe
and said, 'I see that you are wearing the clothes of someone who is without
intelligence.' Then he went on, 'When the Prophet (ﷺ) Nuh, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, he told his son, "I will give you some instructions.
I command you to things and I forbid you two things. I command you to say,
'There is no god but Allah.' If the seven heavens and the seven earths
were a dark ring, they would be cut by 'There is no god but Allah' and
'Glory be to Allah and by His praise.' It is the prayer of every thing
and by it everything has its provision. And I forbid you to associate others
with and Allah and to be proud.'
Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "If anyone behaves insolently or walks with an arrogant,
he will meet Allah Almighty covered with His anger."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Someone who eats with his servant, rides
a donkey in the markets, and ties up his sheep and milks it is not proud."
Salih, the garment-seller, reported that his grandmother said,
"I saw 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, buy fates for a dirham and
put them in his blanket. I said to him (or a man said to him), 'I will
carry it for you, Amir al-Mu'minin.' He said, 'No, the father of the family
is the one who is the most entitled to carry it.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said that Allah Almighty said, "Might is My wrapper and
pride is My cloak. I will punish anyone who contends with Me over either
of them."
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ الأَغَرِّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الْعِزُّ إِزَارِي وَالْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُمَا عَذَّبْتُهُ
Hadith 553
Hasan (mauquf) — Al-Albani
Pride
An-Nu'man ibn Bashir was heard to say on the minbar, "Shaytan has
snares and traps. The snares and traps of Shaytan are to exult ungratefully
in the blessings of Allah, to boast about the gifts of Allah, to have pride
at the expense of the slaves of Allah, and to follow passion for other
than the sake of Allah."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The Garden and the Fire quarrelled and the Fire
said, 'The tyrants will enter me and the proud will enter me.' The Garden
retorted, 'The weak will enter me and the poor will enter me.' Allah Almighty
said to the Garden, 'You are My mercy and I show you to whomever I will.'
Then He said to the Fire, 'You are My punishment with which I will punish
whomever I will. Each of you will have your fill.'"
Abu Salama ibn 'Abdu'r-Rahman said, "The Companions of the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, were neither niggardly
nor weak (in worship). They used to recite poems to one another in their
gatherings and they mentioned matters of the Jahiliyya. But when one of
them was asked about something concerning Allah, his eyes went around as
if he were mad."
Abu Hurayra reported that a man who was handsome came to the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "I love beauty and I
have been given what you see so I do not want anyone to be superior to
me (and he either said 'by the strap of a sandal' or 'by a red sandal-thong').
Is that pride?" "No," he replied. "Pride is when someone disdains the truth
and is contemptuous of people."
'Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported via his father that his grandfather related
that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "On the
Day of Rising, the proud will be gathered like specks in the form of men.
Abasement will envelop them on every side. They will be driven to a prison
in Jahannam called Bulas. The hottest of fires will rise over them. They
will have to drink the pus of the people of the Fire, the foul fluid that
their skins excrete."
