"Even if he were to give them baskets of gold"

Shaykh Muqbil has said:

الكبر من أعظم الصوارف عن الخير قال تعالى : سأصرف عن ءاياتي الذين يتكبرون في الأرض بغير الحق ، والمتكبر مبغوض لدى الناس ولو كال لهم الذهب بالزنبيل كيلا

ENGLISH:

"Arrogance is of the greatest deterrents from good and excellence. He (Allaah), The Exalted, has stated (7/146): "I shall turn away from My Ayaat (Signs) those who behave arrogantly on the earth without due right". The arrogant and haughty person is hated amongst the people even if he were to give them baskets of gold!”

NEDERLANDS:

“Arrogantie is de grootste afschrikmiddel van goedheid, (Allaah) de Verhevene zei (7/146): "Ik zal degenen die zich onterecht arrogant op aarde gedragen van Mijn Ayaat afwenden". De arrogante is gehaat onder de mennsen, al zou hij hen manden vol goud schenken!"
