It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I want to ask you about some things, and since I am a villager, there may be some harshness in my questioning, so please teach me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Fear Allah and do not consider any good deed insignificant, even if that good deed is to drop a few drops of water from your bucket into the vessel of someone asking for water. Avoid arrogance, for arrogance is not liked by Allah. And if someone abuses you or taunts you with something he knows about you, do not taunt him with something you know about him, for this will be a source of reward for you and a source of burden for him. And do not abuse anyone." (After this, I never abused any human, goat, or even a camel.) It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I want to ask you about some things..." Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith and said, "Do not taunt him with something you know about him, for this will be a source of reward for you and a source of burden for him."
