273 - باب تحريم احتقار المسلم
Chapter 273
Prohibition of Despising Muslims
قال الله تعالى ( الحجرات 11 ) : { يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا يسخر قوم من قوم عسى أن يكونوا خيرا منهم ولا نساء من نساء عسى أن يكن خيرا منهن ولا تلمزوا أنفسكم ولا تنابزوا بالألقاب بئس الاسم الفسوق بعد الإيمان ومن لم يتب فأولئك هم الظالمون }
وقال تعالى ( الهمزة 1 ) : { ويل لكل همزة لمزة }
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group; it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor let (some) women scoff at other women; it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e., to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: `O sinner', or `O wicked']. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zalimun (wrongdoers).'' (49:11)
"Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.'' (105:1)
1574 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم ] رواه مسلم . وقد سبق قريبا بطوله ( انظر الحديث رقم 1567 )
1574. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "It is enough evil for a Muslim to look down upon his (Muslim) brother.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith has already been mentioned (Hadith No. 1571). Its meanings are evident and need no elaboration.
1575 - وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ لا يدخل الجنة من في قلبه مثقال ذرة من كبر ] فقال رجل : إن الرجل يحب أن يكون ثوبه حسنا ونعله حسنة . فقال : [ إن الله جميل يحب الجمال الكبر بطر الحق وغمط الناس ] رواه مسلم
ومعنى [ بطر الحق ] : دفعه
و [ غمطهم ] : احتقارهم
وقد سبق بيانه أوضح من هذا في باب الكبر ( انظر الحديث رقم 610 )
1575. Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The haughty, even with pride equal to a mustard seed in his heart, will not enter Jannah.'' A man enquired: "What about that a person likes fine dress and fine shoes?'' He said: "Allah is Beautiful and likes beauty. Pride amounts to disclaiming truth out of self-esteem, and despising people .''
[Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith has already been mentioned (Hadith No. 216). Imam An-Nawawi has interpreted the words "Batar-ul-Haq'' as "Daf`-ul-Haq'' that is to evade the truth and return it to the person who says it, which practically means evasion. To dress well does not come in the category of pride, as people generally consider it. In fact, pride constitutes what is mentioned in this Hadith.
1576 - وعن جندب بن عبد الله رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ قال رجل والله لا يغفر الله لفلان . فقال الله عز و جل : من ذا الذي يتألى علي أن لا أغفر لفلان إني قد غفرت له وأحبطت عملك ] رواه مسلم
1576. Jundub bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Once someone said: `By Allah! Allah will not forgive such and such (a person).' Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious, said: `Who is he who takes an oath in My Name that I will not grant pardon to so-and-so? I have granted pardon to so-and-so and rendered your good deeds fruitless.'''
[Muslim].
Commentary: Some people become self-conceited as a result of their excessive worship to the point that they start disparaging and making low estimates of their fellow Muslims and their deeds, little knowing that Allah, Glorious is He, is of vast forgiveness. They do not realize that if Allah so wills, He can destroy all their deeds and consign them to Hell and send the other people who have been disparaged and underestimated to Jannah. Therefore, one should never become proud of his piety nor should one consider others of little value or good deeds, as only Allah Alone knows what is inside our hearts.

قال الله تعالى ( الحجرات 10 ) : { إنما المؤمنون إخوة }
وقال تعالى ( النور 19 ) : { إن الذين يحبون أن تشيع الفاحشة في الذين آمنوا لهم عذاب أليم في الدنيا والآخرة }
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion).'' (49:10)
"Verily, those who like that (the crime of) illegal sexual intercourse should be propagated among those who believe, they will have a painful torment in this world and in the Hereafter.'' (24:19)
