"it is a rare narration from Ibrāhīm, and I do not know of any other chain for it." I said: He is truthful and ascetic, so the ḥadīth is ḥasan because those above him are known trustworthy narrators, except that I do not know the narrator from Ibrāhīm. However, Abū Nuʿaym's action suggests that he was not alone in narrating it. It is strange that he said: "I do not know of any other chain for it." Even though Muslim included it in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" (8/21) through the chain of al-ʿAlāʾ from his father from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth, and others have also narrated it. I have included it in "Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl" (2262). It has a corroborating narration from ʿUmar as a marfūʿ ḥadīth, with the addition: "He said: 'Rise, may Allāh elevate you.' He is small in himself but great in the eyes of people, and whoever is arrogant, Allāh will lower him. He said: 'Be disgraced, may Allāh lower you.' He is small in the eyes of people but great in himself, until he becomes more insignificant to them than a dog."

I said: He is a liar, as Aḥmad and others have said, and thus I included it in "al-Ḍaʿīfah" (1295). There is another corroborating narration from the account of Darāj, who is weak, from Abū al-Haytham from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī as a marfūʿ ḥadīth with the wording: "Whoever humbles himself for Allāh by a degree, Allāh will elevate him by a degree, until He places him in the highest of the high. And whoever is arrogant towards Allāh by a degree, Allāh will lower him by a degree, until He places him in the lowest of the low." It was narrated by Ibn Mājah (2/544) and Ibn Ḥibbān (1942). Then I found another chain for the ḥadīth of ʿUmar from the narration of ʿĀṣim ibn Muḥammad from his father from Ibn
