Luqman • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍۢ فَخُورٍۢ ﴾
““And turn not thy cheek away from people in [false] pride, and walk not haughtily on earth: for, behold, God does not love anyone who, out of self- conceit, acts in a boastful manner.”
(Turn not thy cheek in scorn towards folk) do not turn your face away from people out of pride and haughtiness towards them; it is also said that this means: do not belittle the poor among Muslims, (nor walk with pertness the land) displaying hubris and pretentiousness. (Lo! Allah loveth not each braggart) in his walk (boaster) about the blessings of Allah.
