[3] Humility of The Scholars


In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

It has been reported from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, may Allah have mercy upon him, who said:

When Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, arrived in Sham, its scholars and elders came out to meet him. They said, ‘Ride this mule so that people will see you’. He said: ‘Indeed, you see the matter from here’, then while pointing to the sky, he said: ‘Instead the matter (regarding nobility, honour, recognition etc) is really up there. Leave me on my way.”

Tarikh Dimashq 4/44
