Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5232
وَعَن مُصعب بن سعدٍ قَالَ: رَأَى سَعْدٌ أَنَّ لَهُ فَضْلًا عَلَى مَنْ دُونَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «هَلْ تُنْصَرُونَ وَتُرْزَقُونَ إِلَّا بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ؟» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Sayyiduna Mus'ab رضي الله عنه (a tabi'i) son of Sa'd رضي الله عنه narrated that Sayyiduna Sa'd used to consider himself better than those who were (weaker and) humble (than him). So, Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said (to correct his impression and let others be correct too), "Are you given help (against enemies) and provision for any reason but only because of the blessings of the weak (and poor) among you?"
