Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

وعنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: “قال الله عز وجل: العز إزاري والكبرياء ردائي، فمن ينازعني في واحد منهما فقد عذبته” ((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Glory and pride are two attributes of Allah Almighty.<br>
2) If a person contends with Allah over any of His attributes, He will punish him for that.<br>
3) By arrogance, a person is acting daringly towards Allah Almighty. It is reprehensible for a person who knows the greatness of his Lord to act arrogantly and for he who recognizes his weakness to persist in doing so.
