A Hadeeth in Modesty and Courtesy towards the Believers

A Hadeeth in Modesty and Courtesy towards the Believers

Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you.'' (26:215)
"O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers.'' 



 (5:54)
"O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and 
made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most Honorable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [he is one of the Muttaqun (the pious)].'' (49:13)
"So ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him [i.e., those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious)].'' (53:32)
"And the men on Al-a`raf (the wall) will call unto the men whom they would recognize by their marks, saying: `Of what benefit to you were your great numbers (and hoards of wealth), and your arrogance (against Faith)?' Are they those, of whom you swore that Allah would never show them mercy. (Behold! It has been said to them): `Enter Jannah, no fear shall be on you, nor shall you grieve.''' (7:48,49

قال الله تعالى في سورة ( الشعراء 215 ) : { واخفض جناحك لمن اتبعك من المؤمنين }
وقال تعالى ( المائدة 54 ) : { يا أيها الذين آمنوا من يرتد منكم عن دينه فسوف يأتي الله بقوم يحبهم ويحبونه أذلة على المؤمنين أعزة على الكافرين }
وقال عز من قائل في سورة ( الحجرات 13 ) : { يا أيها الناس إنا خلقناكم من ذكر وأنثى وجعلناكم شعوبا وقبائل لتعارفوا إن أكرمكم عند الله أتقاكم }
وقال سبحانه ( النجم 32 ) : { فلا تزكوا أنفسكم هو أعلم بمن اتقى }
وقال جل في علاه ( الأعراف 48 ، 49 ) : { ونادى أصحاب الأعراف رجالا يعرفونهم بسيماهم قالوا : ما أغنى عنكم جمعكم وما كنتم تستكبرون أهؤلاء الذين أقسمتم لا ينالهم الله برحمة ؟ ادخلوا الجنة لا خوف عليكم ولا أنتم تحزنون }

وعن عياض بن حمار رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ إن الله أوحى إلي أن تواضعوا حتى لا يفخر أحد على أحد ولا يبغي أحد على أحد ] رواه مسلم

602. `Iyad bin Himar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Allah has revealed to me that you should humble yourselves to one another. One should neither hold himself above another nor transgress against another.''

Commentary: To treat each other humbly, leniently and lovingly is understood as humility. One, under this principle, is also required not to despise anybody on the basis of wealth, social distinction and lineage. Moreover, one should also not adopt an unkind attitude towards others. Besides, if Allah has bestowed honor on somebody, he is supposed to be grateful to Him, instead of behaving disrespectfully towards people and subjecting them to unkindness and tyranny.
