وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا حَدُّ التَّوَاضُعِ الَّذِي إِذَا فَعَلَهُ الْعَبْدُ كَانَ مُتَوَاضِعاً فَقَالَ التَّوَاضُعُ دَرَجَاتٌ مِنْهَا أَنْ يَعْرِفَ الْمَرْءُ قَدْرَ نَفْسِهِ فَيُنْزِلَهَا مَنْزِلَتَهَا بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ لَا يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مِثْلَ مَا يُؤْتَى إِلَيْهِ إِنْ رَأَى سَيِّئَةً دَرَأَهَا بِالْحَسَنَةِ كَاظِمُ الْغَيْظِ عَافٍ عَنِ النَّاسِ وَ اللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ .
Translation
And in another Hadeeth, he said, ‘I said, ‘What is the limit of the humbleness which, when the servant does it, he would be (considered as) humble?’ So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘The humbleness has levels – from it is that you recognise the person in accordance with himself, so he would lodge him at his status with a peaceful heart, not loving going to anyone except with similar to what he loves to be brought to him. If he sees a sin, he shields it with the good deed, swallowing the anger, pardoning the people. And Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Loves the good doers’.
