Question:
Why did the Shaykh specify the old man in the hadith:?
Answer:
This indicates that a young person may be carried away by his youth and deceived by it, but if an old man with white hair becomes accustomed to this evil and this corruption, his sin is greater—may Allah protect us from it.
Likewise,, for arrogance may come from a wealthy person, but when it comes from a poor person, it makes the sin more severe; because there is nothing to prompt him to it—may Allah protect us from it.
