The Importance of Humility and Avoiding Immorality

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of humility and not showing pride over others, as well as avoiding immoral behavior.

Iyad. b. Himar reported that, while Allah's Messenger was delivering an address, he stated that Allah commanded me The rest of the hadith is the same, and there is an addition in it: " Allah revealed to me that we should be humble amongst ourselves and none should show pride upon the others, And it does not behove one to do so, and He also said: There are among you people to follow not caring a bit for their family and property. Qatada said: Abu Abdullah, would this happen? Thereupon he said: Yes. By Allah, I found this in the days of ignorance that a person grazed the goat of a tribe and did not find anyone but their slave-girl (and he did not spare her) but committed adultery with her.
