What are the references regarding arrogance and haughtiness?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Arrogance (Kibr) and conceit (Khuyala') are two blameworthy traits. Scholars have discussed them in tafsir (exegesis) when addressing the relevant Quranic verses, in their commentaries on the prophetic traditions (Ahadith) that mention them, and in books on etiquette and spiritual conduct such as "Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din," "Madarij al-Salikin," and "Al-Kaba'ir." However, there is no independent work specifically dedicated to these two traits.
