Chapter on encouragement to humility and its virtue
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9249 — on encouragement to humility and its virtue
عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ عُتْبَةُ يَقُولُ عِرْبَاضٌ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَعِرْبَاضٌ يَقُولُ عُقْبَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي سَبَقَنِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَنَةٍ
It is narrated from Shurayh bin Ubaid that Sayyiduna Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: Sayyiduna Irbad (may Allah be pleased with him) was better than me, and Sayyiduna Irbad (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) was better than me; he reached the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) one year before me.
