[Editor's note: Recently I saw
the following written on a piece of paper, posted on the PC of a colleague of

descriptions of the human soul mentioned in the Qur'an are:
Evil - Haste
- Argumentation - Exceeding Bounds - Despair - Oppression - Ignorance - Denial
and Rejection - Boasting and Pride - Satisfaction - Miserliness - Anxiety]

Prophetic Traditions On Pride
"Pride is dissatisfaction
with the truth, and belittling the people." [Muslim]
"He will not enter Paradise
who has even a speck of pride in his heart." [Muslim]
"Paradise and the Fire
quarreled. Paradise said, 'The weak and the poor enter me.'
The Fire replied,
'The oppressive and the proud enter me.' So Allah Almighty said to the Fire,
'You are my punishment, in you I punish whom I wish.' He said to Paradise, 'You
are my mercy to whom I wish, and each of you will certainly be filled.'"
[Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Khuzaimah].
The wording of Al-Bukhari:
"Paradise and the Fire complained to their Lord. Paradise said, 'O Lord,
there is none who enter me but the weak and despised'. The Fire said, 'I
receive only the proud…'…"
"Shall I inform you of the
people of Paradise? They are every weak and humble person, if he takes an oath
to Allah, it will be fulfilled. Shall I inform you of the people of the Fire?
They are every cruel, violent and proud person." [Al-Bukhari, Muslim,
Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah]
"Four things are among my
followers from the traditions of jahiliyyah which will not leave: pride of
lineage, slandering kinship, use of astrology for rain, and wailing."
[Muslim]
"If you were not sinners, I
would fear for you what is worse for you: Pride, pride." [Al-Bayhaqi,
hasan hadeeth]
