Humility

Abū Ḥātim (Ibn Ḥibbān) said,

"Humbleness raises the worth of a person, enhances his value and increases his nobility. Humility for Allāh falls into two categories:

The humbleness of a slave as he approaches an act of obedience, without any self-amazement in his deed and without showing off to anybody; a state which brings about the closeness of Allāh to a slave, except that it is Allāh (ʿazza wa jall) who has bestowed this upon him first. And (the lack of) this humility is the reason that the pretentious self-righteous soul is turned away from acts of obedience.

The humbleness/humility of a slave in lowering and belittling himself when he is mentioned, without falling into sin, until there is no-one in the world except that he sees himself less than them in obedience or more than them in sin."
