180 – Abu ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Azdi recited to me: ⦗142⦘
When a kindness is bestowed on those who do not deserve it,
by your life, that kindness is utterly lost.
Humble yourself and Allah will add to you honor and elevation;
through humility you shall be numbered among the righteous.
١٨٠ - أَنْشَدَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَزْدِيُّ
⦗١٤٢⦘
إِذَا وُضِعَ الْمَعْرُوفُ فِي غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ ... فَذَلِكَ مَعْرُوفٌ لَعَمْرُكَ ضَائِعُ
تَوَاضَعْ يَزِدْكَ اللَّهُ عِزًّا وَرِفْعَةً ... ويكسبك من الصالحين التواضع
