٣٨٣٨٧ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: أخبرنا حماد بن سلمة عن ثابت البناني عن مطرف عن كعب قال: ما من عبد إلا في رأسه حَكَمة، فإن تواضع (١) رفعه اللَّه، وإن تكبر وضعه اللَّه.
Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) says that every person has a certain status and rank in the beginning. Then, if he shows humility, Allah increases his status, and if he shows arrogance, Allah lowers his status and rank.
