In Al-Seyed Nasih al-Din it is narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said
“The basis of humbleness is to greet whoever you see, respond to whoever greets you, sit in the lower ranks in a meeting, and not get pleased with people admiring you.”
من كتاب السيد ناصح الدين أبي البركات: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من رأس التواضع أن تبدأ بالسلام على من لقيت، وترد على من سلم عليك، وأن ترضى بالدون من المجلس، ولا تحب المدحة والتزكية.
