Riyad as-Salihin, 618
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "While a man was walking, dressed in clothes admiring himself, his hair combed, walking haughtily when Allah caused the earth to swallow him. Now he will continue to go down in it (as a punishment) until the Day of Resurrection." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:"بينما رجل يمشى في حلة تعجبه نفسه، مرجل رأسه، يختال في مشيته، إذ خسف الله به، فهو يتجلجل في الأرض إلى يوم القيامة” ((متفق عليه)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Arrogance and self-conceit are prohibited. A person should realize the level of his own significance and treat himself accordingly.<br>
2) Over-indulgence in wearing elegant fancy clothes, along with boastfulness and pomp, makes a person self-conceited and subject to Allah’s wrath.
