4091. It was narrated from Abū Bakr, meaning Ibn 'Ayyāsh, from Al-A'mash, from Ibrāhīm, from ‘Alqamah, from ‘Abdullāh, who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘The one in whose heart is a mustard-seed’s worth of pride will not enter Paradise, and the one in whose heart is mustard-seed’s worth of faith will not enter the Fire.’” (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: Al-Qasmālī reported it similarly from Al-A’mash.
4091 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ خَرْدَلَةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ الْقَسْمَلِيُّ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، مِثْلَهُ

In this narration, pride has been likened to Kufr, the opposite of Faith, and the reason for that becomes clear from the next narration. The statement ‘will not enter the Fire’ means to abide eternally.
