On Humility
Our mother Aishah (r) reminded us, "You are neglecting the greatest act of worship: humility and humbleness"
[Reported in K. al-Zuhd of Ibn al-Mubārak].
And Qatādah said, "Whoever is blessed with wealth, or beauty, or fine clothes, or knowledge, and doesn't become humble, shall regret those blessings on Judgment Day."
And Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr, a student of Anas b. Mālik (r), said, "The three pillars of humility are: that you sit with those whom others might think as lesser than you; and that you begin with the greetings of salām to everyone you meet; and that you genuinely dislike that you be praised for any deed."
We ask Allah for humility and humbleness, and seek His refuge from arrogance and pride.
