59. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'No one will enter Paradise who has even a mustard-seed's weight of arrogance in his heart, and no one will enter Hell who has even a mustard-seed's weight of faith in his heart.'"

Commentary
a. Arrogance is an extremely detestable trait. The saying of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ that "arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down upon the people" reflects the true meaning of the word.
b. If belief in the commands of Allāh and His Messenger is rejected out of arrogance, abiding permanently in Hell is the punishment because arrogance is totally antithetical to faith. Even if arrogance is of another type, and the man belittles others on account of his supposed superiority in wealth, or his presumed good looks and social status, or refuses to accept the truth out of obstinacy, even this is extremely detestable to Allāh.
