Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “No position is higher than humbleness, and no loneliness is more awesome than conceit. I am amazed at a conceited person who was only a sperm before and will only be a corpse in the future.”
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): لا حسب كالتواضع، ولا وحدة أوحش من العجب، وعجبت للمتكبر الذي كان بالأمس نطفة وغدا جيفة.
