I thought he was befuddled …

I thought he was befuddled, when he was coming afar! But I got he was crazy when came near me.  He  was looking around himself and murmuring  something.

For justification of his uncommon behaviors, I said to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh &h), “He is crazy.â€

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh &h) glimpsed at me and stated, “ He is not crazy.â€

I asked surprisingly,†Isn’t he crazy?â€
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh &h) stated that he was not crazy but was sick. He stated,â€A crazy person is one who is arrogant and inflated.â€

“And swell not thy cheek (for pride) at men, nor walk in insolence through the earth; for Allah loveth not any arrogant boaster. (Surah Luqman, verse18).
