Chapter: The Two Who Abuse Each Other, the Sin is on the Initiator
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 426 — The Two Who Abuse Each Other, the Sin
وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ أَنْ تَوَاضَعُوا، وَلاَ يَبْغِ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has revealed to me that you should adopt humility and modesty among yourselves, and none of you should show arrogance over another."

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Expressing humility and modesty before Allah, and showing mercy and compassion to His servants—such that one does not consider oneself superior and others inferior—is called humility (tawadu‘). Likewise, the purpose of this humility should be the pleasure and approval of Allah, not any human weakness.
➋ Adhering to the commands of Allah, refraining from prohibited matters, and not following one’s desires is also humility (tawadu‘).
