The questioner : In her letter, regarding the hadith whose meaning is "He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance will not enter Paradise", she says she would like an explanation of this hadith, and does arrogance mean being arrogant toward people only?
The Shaykh : Yes, the answer is that the meaning of the hadith is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informs that he who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance will not enter Paradise. This negation of entering Paradise is of two types. If this arrogance necessitates his disbelief and his exit from Islam, such as if he is arrogant toward the Shari'ah of Allah and rejects it, or rejects part of it, then this negation is a negation of entering entirely, because the disbeliever will never enter Paradise, and his abode is the Fire, where he will remain forever.
As for if the arrogance is arrogance toward creation and a refusal to submit to what is obligatory toward them, without rejecting the Shari'ah of Allah, but rather as transgression and sin, then the negation of entry here is a negation of complete entry. That is, he will not enter Paradise completely until he is punished for the rights of people he has neglected and is held accountable for them, because the rights of people must be fully satisfied. And with this, the answer to the next part of her question becomes clear, which is that arrogance is not merely looking down on people. Rather, arrogance, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained it: meaning rejecting it and not caring about it meaning looking down on them and despising them.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
