Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of his noble grandfather (a.s)
“Being content to sit in a lower position in a meeting, greeting whomever you see, not quarrelling even if you are right and disliking to be praised for piety are all signs of humbleness.”
عن أبي عبد الله عن آبائه (عليهم السلام) قال
إن من التواضع أن ترضى بالمجلس دون المجلس، وأن تسلم على من تلقى، وأن تترك المراء وإن كنت محقا، ولا تحب أن تحمد على التقوى.
