Lesson To Humanity On Humility.

As-Salaam alaikum,
  It is widely known that whoever humbles himself before Allah Ta'ala is elevated in degree(s) by Allah. In this regards, I wish to share with you what one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah related about the Noble Messenger, Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam as follows:--

  Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam:--

  "Used to feed his camel, sweep [his] house, mend his sandals, patch his clothes,
  milk his sheep, eat with his servant and help him grind, when he [the servant] got
  tired. He was not embarrassed to carry his goods from the bazaar to his family. He
  would shake hands with both the rich and the poor; he was the first to greet people;
  he would not scorn any meal of which he was invited to partake, even if this was
  unripe and dry dates. He made do with free supplies [of provision], he was gentle of
  character, generous of nature, pleasant of company; his face was cheerful, he
  smiled much, without laughing and showed [his] sadness without frowning; he was
  humble without being self-effacing, generous without being extravagant; his heart
 was gentle, he was compassionate to every Muslim; he would never eat his fill and
 he would never stretch his hand to a thing that he desired."
