‘Iyād ibn Himār, the brother of Bani Mujāshi‘ (may Allah be pleased with him), reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood among us one day and delivered a sermon, in which he said: and then he narrated the Hadīth that includes:
"And verily, Allah revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one boasts of oneself before another or oppresses another."
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood among his Companions to deliver a sermon, and among what he said was: Indeed, Allah revealed to him that people must show humility toward one another—by lowering their wings to others and displaying gentleness of character—so that no one should boast of greatness, pride, or superiority over others due to lineage, wealth, or anything else. And so that no one should do wrong or transgress against another.
Lessons
The Hadīth encourages humility and warns against arrogance and looking down upon others.
Prohibition of transgression and boasting.
Humility for the sake of Allah has two meanings: First: To humble yourself before the religion of Allah, never feeling above it, nor disdain toward it and toward fulfilling its rulings. Second: To humble yourself toward the servants of Allah, not out of fear of them or hope for what they possess, but purely for the sake of Allah Almighty.
Explanation in Arabic
قام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في أصحابه خطيبًا، وكان مما قال:
إن الله أوحى إليه أنه يجب على الناس أن يتواضعوا فيما بينهم، وذلك بخفض الجناح للخلق ولين الجانب، حتى لا يفخر بادعاء العظمة والكبرياء والشرف أحدٌ بنسبه أو ماله أو غير ذلك على أحد، ولا يظلم ولا يعتدي أحدٌ على أحد.
في الحديث الحث على التواضع وعدم الكبر والترفع على الناس.
النهي عن البغي والفخر.
التواضع لله له معنيان: المعنى الأول: أن تتواضع لدِينِ الله، فلا تترفع عن الدِّين، ولا تستكبر عنه وعن أداء أحكامه، والثاني: أن تتواضع لعباد الله من أجل الله، لا خوفًا منهم، ولا رجاءً لما عندهم، ولكن لله عزَّ وجلَّ.
