Allah said,
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ
مُخْتَالاً فَخُوراً﴾
(Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful.) meaning, one who is
proud and arrogant, insolent and boasts to others. He thinks that he is better than
other people, thus thinking high of himself, even though he is insignificant to
Allah and hated by people. Mujahid said that Allah's statement,
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ
مُخْتَالاً فَخُوراً﴾
(Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud) means arrogant, while,
﴿فَخُوراً﴾
(boastful) means boasting about what he has, while he does not thank Allah. This
Ayah indicates that such a person boasts with people about the bounty that Allah
has given him, but he is actually ungrateful to Allah for this bounty. Ibn Jarir
recorded that `Abdullah bin Waqid Abu Raja' Al-Harawi said, "You will find that
those who are mean are also proud and boasting. He then recited,
﴿وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـنُكُمْ﴾
(and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess,) You will find that he who is
undutiful (to parents) is also arrogant, and deprived. He then recited,
﴿وَبَرّاً بِوَالِدَتِى وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِى
جَبَّاراً شَقِيّاً ﴾
(And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, deprived.) Once a man asked
the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah, advise me.' The Prophet said,
«إيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ،
فَإِنَّ إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَة»
(Avoid lengthening the dress (below the ankles), for this practice is from arrogance.
Verily, Allah does not like arrogance.)''
﴿الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ
وَيَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَيَكْتُمُونَ مَآ ءَاتَـهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَـفِرِينَ عَذَاباً مُّهِيناً - وَالَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَلَهُمْ
رِئَـآءَ النَّاسِ وَلاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ بِالْيَوْمِ الاٌّخِرِ وَمَن
يَكُنِ الشَّيْطَـنُ لَهُ قَرِيناً فَسَآءَ قِرِيناً - وَمَاذَا عَلَيْهِمْ لَوْ ءَامَنُواْ
بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الاٌّخِرِ وَأَنفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ
بِهِم عَلِيماً ﴾
(37. Those who are stingy and encourage people to be stingy and hide what Allah
has bestowed upon them of His bounties. And We have prepared for the disbelievers
a disgraceful torment.) (38. And (also) those who spend of their wealth to be seen
of men, and believe not in Allah and the Last Day, and whoever takes Shaytan as
an intimate; then what a dreadful intimate he has!) (39. And what loss have they
if they had believed in Allah and in the Last Day, and they spend out of what Allah
has given them for sustenance And Allah is Ever All-Knower of them.)
