حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ دَرَّاجًا حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ يَتَوَاضَعُ لِلَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ دَرَجَةً يَرْفَعُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَمَنْ يَتَکَبَّرُ عَلَی اللَّهِ دَرَجَةً يَضَعُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً حَتَّی يَجْعَلَهُ فِي أَسْفَلِ السَّافِلِينَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4176
It was narrated from Abu Saeed that the Messenger of P.B.U.H said: "Whoever humbles himself one degree for the sake of Allah, Allah will raise him In degree, and whoever behaves arrogantly towards Allah one degree, Allah will lower him in status one degree, until He makes him among the lowest of the low." (Da'if)
