أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد، عن علي بن الحكم، عن سيف عن عبد الأعلى بن أعين قال: قال أبو عبد اللهعن آبائه عليهم السلام قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إن أعظم الكبر غمص الخلق وسفه الحق. قلت: وما غمص الخلق وسفه الحق؟ قال: يجهل الحق ويطعن على أهله ومن فعل ذلك فقد نازع الله عز وجل رداءه.

5. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Ali bin Hakam, from Saif, from Abdul-A’la bin A’yan, that he said: Abu Abdillah said (narrating) from his fathers, peace be upon them: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Indeed, the greatest arrogance is disdaining of the creation and stultification of the truth. I said: And what is it to disdain the creation and stultify the truth? He said: That one who is ignorant of the truth and vilifies its people. The one who does that, has certainly challenged the Vesture of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He.
