Do not be Arrogant

Once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "He will not enter Paradise who has a grain of arrogance in his heart." Upon hearing this a man asked, "(What about) a person who may like his dress to be nice and his shoes to be nice?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Allah is beautiful and likes beauty. Arrogance is to deny the rights and look down upon people." 

[Abu Dawud, Ahmad & Al-Hakim]
