We must humble ourselves


Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi #5186, Narrated Uthman ibn Affan

The Prophet ,peace be upon him,said, "The son of Adam* has a right only to the following: a house in which he lives, a garment with which he conceals his private parts, dry bread and water."

Tirmidhi transmitted it.

*humankind

Hadith - Narrated 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (radhiyallaahu 'anhu)

The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:

"Verily the most beloved speech to Allah is the servant's saying, 'Subhaanak Allaahumma wa bihamdika wa tabaarakasmuka wa ta'aalaa jad-duka wa laa ilaaha ghayruk.' (Glorified are you, O Allah, and to you is the praise, Blessed is Your Name and Lofty is your Majesty, there is none worthy of worship other than you.)


The most hated speech to Allah is when a man says to another man, 'Fear Allah!' and he replies, 'Worry about your own self!' "

[It was reported by Al-Asbahaanee in At-Targheeb (#739), and Sheikh Albani authenticated it in Silsilatul-Ahaadeethis-Saheehah (#2598)]

[halah]

Jazaaki Allaahu Khayran, sister. Another hadeeth that comes to mind about humility and simple living is this. I hope somebody can find its Isnaad.

"Whoever wakes up safe in his community, unhurt in his body, and is available to him his daily sustenance of food, it's as if he's got all the edges of the world wrapped for him."

I thought it was mentioned in the book Riyad Al-Saalheen so I checked it and here it is;

511. `Ubaidullah bin Mihsan Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Whosoever begins the day feeling family security and good health; and possessing provision for his day is as though he possesed the whole world.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
