Hadith 1119
۞
12. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from more than one person from Ali ibn Asbat from his uncle, Ya’qub ibn Salim from ‘Abd al-‘Ala’ who has said the following
“Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘What is arrogance?’ The Imam said, ‘The biggest arrogance is to hoodwink the truth and look down upon the people.’ I then asked, ‘What is to hoodwink the truth and belittle the people?’ The Imam said, ‘It is one’s disregarding and ignoring the truth and his criticizing the people of the truth.’”
12ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الأعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا الْكِبْرُ فَقَالَ أَعْظَمُ الْكِبْرِ أَنْ تَسْفَهَ الْحَقَّ وَتَغْمِصَ النَّاسَ قُلْتُ وَمَا سَفَهُ الْحَقِّ قَالَ يَجْهَلُ الْحَقَّ وَيَطْعُنُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ.
