Musnad Ahmad 4032

It was narrated that Humaid bin ‘Abdur-Rahman said: Ibn Mas'ood said: I was not prevented from three things - Ibn ‘Awn said: ‘Amr forgot one and I forgot another, but this remains - from private conversation, from such and such, and from such and such. I came to him and Malik bin Murarah ar-Rahawi was with him. I caught the end of what he was saying, which was: O Messenger of Allah, I am a man who has been given a (fair) share of beauty as you can see, and I do not like any one among the people to be better than me in the straps of his sandals or anything more than that; is that not wrongdoing? He said: “That is not wrongdoing; rather wrongdoing is rejecting the truth and looking down at people.”
