إنّ مِن التَّواضُعِ أن يَرضى الرّجُلُ بِالمَجلِسِ دُونَ المَجلِسِ، وأن يُسَلِّمَ على مَن يَلقى، وأن يَترُكَ المِراءَ وإن كانَ مُحِقّا، ولا يُحِبَّ أن يُحمَدَ علَى التَّقوى.
Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):
Imam al-Sadiq (AS), from his fathers (AS) said, Humbleness is for a man to be content to sit in any place and not a particular place, to greet those he meets, to leave disputation even if he is right, and to not like to be praised for piety.
