وَعَن عمر قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَوَاضَعُوا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ تَوَاضَعَ لِلَّهِ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ فِي نَفْسِهِ صَغِيرٌ وَفِي أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ عَظِيمٌ وَمَنْ تَكَبَّرَ وَضَعَهُ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ فِي أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ صَغِيرٌ وَفِي نَفْسِهِ كَبِيرٌ حَتَّى لَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ كَلْبٍ أَوْ خنزيرٍ»
'Umar Narrated from:
Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله عنه said while he was on the pulpit (delivering a sermon), "O you people! Be humble towards each other, for, indeed, I had heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say, 'He who is humble for Allah's sake (to win His pleasure) will be raised (in rank) by Allah. Though he may regard himself lowly (in his own eyes), he is great in the eyes of men. But, he who is proud will be lowered (in rank) by Allah. Thus, he is debased in the eye of men though he may regard himself highly (in his own eyes), so much so that he is more contemptible in their sight than a dog or a pig.' [1]
