Sahih Muslim 2963a (Book 55, Hadith 12) #14532
The Virtue of Humility

SUMMARY: This hadith encourages people to be humble and not to be proud of their wealth or physical structure.

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger said: When one of you looks at one who stands at a higher level than you in regard to wealth and physical structure he should also see one who stands at a lower level than you in regard to these things (in which he stands) at a higher level (as compared to him).
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا وَقَالَ، يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا نَظَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْخَلْقِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ مِمَّنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages us to practice humility and not be proud of our wealth or physical structure. It reminds us that no matter how much money we have, or how physically attractive we are, there will always be someone who has more than us in these areas. We should remember that Allah is the only one who is truly wealthy and powerful, so it is important for us to remain humble in order to stay close to Him. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us that even if we are blessed with certain advantages over others, such as wealth or physical beauty, it does not make us better than them in any way. Instead, it should motivate us to help those less fortunate than ourselves and show kindness towards them.
