May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does the phrase of Allah the Exalted, "so that you do not
despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what He has given youتَأْسَوْا عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا بِمَا آتَاكُمْ
[Al-Hadid 57:23]
," mean "so that you do not become arrogant," just as Allah the Exalted said about Qarun,
Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not like the exultant.لَا تَفْرَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِينَ
[Al-Qasas 28:76]
, meaning "so that you do not become arrogant"?

Answer:
This is what we mentioned. "Do not rejoice" means do not become arrogant, proud, or pleased with yourself. Yes.
