5. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Muhammad b. Ali al-Kufi from Ali b. al-Nu’man from Abdillah b. Talha from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said
“A person who has pride in his heart equal to even a small grain will not enter Paradise and a person who has faith in his heart equal to even a small grain will not enter Hell.” The narrator asked, “When a person wears good clothes and rides a mount, he feels proud.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “This is not pride. Pride means to reject the truth and faith means to accept it.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَلْحَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
لَا یَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّهَ عَبْدٌ فِی قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّهٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ کِبْرٍ وَ لَا یَدْخُلُ النَّارَ عَبْدٌ فِی قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّهٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ* مِنْ إِیمَانٍ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ إِنَ الرَّجُلَ لَیَلْبَسُ الثَّوْبَ وَ یَرْکَبُ الدَّابَّهَ فَیَکَادُ یَعْرِفُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ الْکِبْرَ قَالَ لَیْسَ ذَلِکَ بِکِبْرٍ إِنَّمَا الْکِبْرُ إِنْکَارُ الْحَقِّ وَ الْإِیمَانُ إِقْرَارٌ بِالْحَقِّ.

8. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The proud will be gathered on the Day of Judgment with their bodies as diminutive as that of ants. People will tease them till Allah concludes accounting of all the people. Then Allah will put them into Hell where they will be made to drink the dirt coming out of the private parts of a fornicateress and dirty blood and puss of the people of Hell.”

12. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Allah will not talk to three types of people on the Day of Judgment and neither will He send mercy upon them. They will not be consoled and shall get severe punishment. Those three are – an aged fornicator, a despotic ruler and person who is proud.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِیدِ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ جَمِیلٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ
