Opposite of Pride & Arrogance Humbleness and Humility

Hadith Anas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had a she-camel called al-'Adba' which could not be beaten in a race. A bedouin came on a youngish camel and beat it. That was difficult for the Muslims and, recognizing that, he said, 'It is a right of Allah that nothing elevates itself in this world, without Him then bringing it low. "

Hadith “Allah has revealed to me that you must be humble towards one another, so that no one wrongs another or arrogantly boasts to another. ”

Humility One of the clearest examples of his humility, is that the Prophet (S) would sit in the Masjid with his companions and if a stranger or visitor came to the Masjid he wouldn't know who the Prophet was until he asked, "Which one of you is Muhammad"? This is because he would not sit, dress, or be treated in a way that distinguished him from the people.

Hadith “Shall I tell you about the inhabitants of Paradise ? They are very meek and humble persons. And shall I tell you about the inmates of Hell? They are very ignoble, uncivil and proud persons. ”
