4179 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مَطَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ خَطَبَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ، أَنْ تَوَاضَعُوا حَتَّى لَا يَفْخَرَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ»

Commentary
Boasting or being arrogant for any blessing of Allāh is not allowed. Instead, one should use the blessings to benefit human beings to be thankful to Allāh. A revelation other than the Qur'ān also descended on the Prophet ﷺ; he used to guide Muslims in the light of that revelation. So, the sayings and actions (Ahādīth) of the Prophet ﷺ must be followed.
