Humility

Description: Imam Ali (a.s.) said, ‘The best aid for supplication is humility.’

الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : نِعْـمَ عَونُ الدُّعاءِ الخُشـوعُ.

Reference: [From Mizan al Hikmat -- Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 9945]

Description: Imam Zayn al-Abidin (a.s.) said in his supplication, ‘I seek refuge in you from a soul which is never content, a stomach which is not satisfied and a heart which has no humility.’

الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في الدُّعاءِ ـ : وأَعوذُ بكَ مِن نَفْسٍ لا تَقْنَعُ وبَطْنٍ لا يَشْبَعُ ، وقَلبٍ لا يَخْشَعُ .

Reference: [From Mizan al Hikmat -- Iqbal al-A’amal, p. 20]

Description: The Prophet (S) said, ‘There are four distinguishing marks of the humble ones: they pay constant attention to Allah in private and in public, they carry out good works, they contemplate about the Day of Resurrection, and they engage in intimate supplication with Allah.’

رسولُ اللّٰهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : أمّا عَلامَةُ الخاشِعِ فأربَعةٌ : مُراقَبَةُ اللّه‏ِ في السِّرِّ والعَلانِيَةِ ، ورُكوبُ الجَميلِ ، والتَّفَكُّرُ ليَومِ القِيامَةِ ، والمُناجاةُ للّه‏ِ .

Description: Imam Ali (a.s.) said, ‘One whose heart is humble, his limbs also humble themselves.’

الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مَن خَشَعَ قَلبُهُ خَشَعَتْ جَوارِحُهُ.
