Question:
He says: “Indeed, Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty.” Is this a hadith?
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is authentic. Yes. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade arrogance. A man said: O Messenger of Allah, what if a man loves to have a beautiful garment and beautiful sandals? Is that arrogance? He said: No, for Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance is rejecting the truth and looking down on people. Rejecting the truth means pushing it away and not accepting it, and looking down on people means despising them. As for adorning oneself, that is required. Adorning oneself is required, for Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty.
