Humility

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Buzaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) said,

“The humilty of the gnostics (‘arif) keeps increasing until they bring themselves to the level of dogs, and they don’t care. As for him who elevates himself above dogs in terms of physicality, such a person is truly haughty.”
