Explanation of the author's statement: "...and arrogance in clothing and other things is forbidden..."

The Shaykh : Then he said: "And arrogance in clothing and other things is forbidden".
Arrogance (al-khuyla) is originally derived from horses, because horses are brought out for showing off, pride, and haughtiness. So, al-khuyla is when a person feels a sense of superiority over others. In our colloquial language, it is called "al-zub'ah." Yes, it is said, "So-and-so is acting with al-zub'ah." Yes? Yes. This is forbidden in clothing and other things. Clothing includes the shirt, trousers, the lower garment, and other items. What about non-clothing items? Yes, indeed. The turban, we might say, is originally clothing, but it does not contradict the ruling, so let us say the turban. And what some people do now with the headband (iqal); some people display arrogance with the headband. And how?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, one of them tilts it to one side at times.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, and another tilts it over the forehead, so people know that this is arrogance. Likewise, in wearing the ring, some people wear a ring and put a stone on it that may weigh a kilogram. Yes, a very large stone. Yes, and sometimes you feel that he is showing off with it . Yes.
In any case, this is arrogance. Yes?

The questioner : And the watch.

The Shaykh : And the watch as well; one may take specific things for it that indicate arrogance. That is why the author says: "in clothing and other things", so he generalized. If someone were to say, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ," we would say that the ruling revolves around its cause. Mentioning clothing in conjunction with the description, which is the cause, is like giving an example. So, what is forbidden in principle is arrogance, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned an example of where arrogance occurs, which is clothing. That is why the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Arrogance is not only in dragging the garment, but in every manner of the garment", until he says: "Widening the sleeves is a form of arrogance". In some countries, you find the sheikhs among them, or the scholars among them, wearing sleeves for their garments that are wider than the shirt at times. Yes, you find the garment at times. Yes. Likewise, some of them have arrogance in the turban; they fold a turban on their head that reaches their shoulders in width. Yes, this is also arrogance. Or they make the tail (dhua'bah) very long, so this is from arrogance. The important point is that arrogance was mentioned in the hadith with the lower garment or the clothing by way of giving an example.
Now, arrogance in clothing includes what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned: dragging it in arrogance. "Dragging" means letting it hit the ground in arrogance. The punishment for this, and may Allah protect us, is that Allah will not speak to him on the Day of Resurrection, nor look at him, nor purify him, and he will have a painful punishment. He is punished with two things: painful torment and turning away from Allah the Exalted. That is why, when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , he repeated it three times. Abu Dharr asked, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? They have failed and lost." He said: . So, if he drags his garment in arrogance, this is his punishment, and may Allah protect us. And if he does not drag it in arrogance, does he deserve this punishment or not? He does not deserve it. But a second punishment comes to him, which is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . It will be said to him, "You will be tormented in the Fire to the extent that your garment hangs below your ankles." As for what is between the ankle and the middle of the calf, this is the place where it is permissible for a person to let it hang to the ankle, or higher to the middle of the calf, or a little higher as well.
Now, he says, "Arrogance in clothing and other things." Yes.
