1318 – Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever puffs himself up within and swaggers in his walk will meet Allah while He is angry with him.” Al-Ḥākim recorded it, and its transmitters are trustworthy. (1)

Grade of the ḥadīth:
The report is ḥasan (sound).
Al-ʿIrāqī said: It was collected by Aḥmad, al-Ṭabarānī, and al-Ḥākim—who declared it ṣaḥīḥ—and al-Ḥākim also cited it in Shuʿab al-Īmān through the narration of Ibn ʿUmar.
The author states: its transmitters are reliable.
Al-Munḏirī said: its narrators are accepted as proof in the Ṣaḥīḥ collections.
Al-Haythamī said: its transmitters are the same men found in the Ṣaḥīḥ collections.
