It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Salim (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was sitting with his companions. I asked, "Who among you is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) either pointed to himself or the people indicated by gesture. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting wrapped in a sheet, the corner (end) of which had come near his feet. 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 it is dropping a drop of water from your bucket into the vessel of one who asks 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.)
