The Prophet Muhammad (saas)
humble. Here is what he said on the subject:
"While a man was walking, clad in a two-piece garment and
proud of himself with his hair well-combed, suddenly Allah
made him sink into the earth and he will go on sinking into it
till the Day of Resurrection." 57

This refers to the use of one's goods and one's self in such a way
that will be pleasing to Allah. Those around him asked the Prophet (saas)
a number of questions on the subject, and his explanations increased
their excitement about the idea. This is how the Qur'an refers to the sit-
uation:

Here are some of the Prophet (saas)'s words to encourage Muslims
to avoid avarice and to be ready and willing to give up their possessions:
"Be on your guard against committing oppression, for oppres-
sion is a darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and be on your
guard against pettimindedness for pettimindedness destroyed
those who were before you, as it incited them to shed blood and
make lawful what was unlawful for them." 58
"Do not turn away a poor man...even if all you can give is half
a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you...Allah will
bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection." 59
