Sayyiduna al-Miqdad bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on a mission, and when I returned he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "How do you find yourself?" I said: "Because of this mission I became so lofty in my own thoughts that I felt those with me were my own servants. By Allah, after this I will never again act as commander over even two men."
