(لَا يَعْتَبِرْ نَفْسَهُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ فَقِيرٍ مِسْكِينٍ)
(One should not consider themselves better than a poor person)
Hadith 5232
وَعَن مُصعب بن سعدٍ قَالَ: رَأَى سَعْدٌ أَنَّ لَهُ فَضْلًا عَلَى مَنْ دُونَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ تُنْصَرُونَ وَتُرْزَقُونَ إِلَّا بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ؟» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates that Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that he had superiority and excellence over those who were of a lower status than him (in generosity). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You are given help and provision only because of your weak ones." Narrated by al-Bukhari.
