Takhrij Hadith 24: "The bane of wit is…"

On the authority of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) : the prophet ﷺ said :

“
The bane of wit is arrogance, and the bane of bravery is aggression. The bane of generosity is reminding others of your favors, and the bane of beauty is vanity. The bane of worship is languor (loss of fervor), and the bane of speech is lying. The bane of knowledge is forgetfulness, and the bane of forbearance is foolishness. The bane of noble lineage is boasting. The bane of bounty is extravagance. and the bane of the religion is following whims.
