أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن أبي عبد الله، عن آبائه عليهم السلام قال: إن من التواضع أن يرضى الرجل بالمجلس دون المجالس، وأن يسلم على من يلقى، وأن يترك المراء وإن كان محقا، ولا يحب أن يحمد على التقوى.
9.	My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from al-Nawfaly, from al-Sukuni, from Abu Abdillah, from his fathers, peace be upon them, that he said: Indeed, it is among humbleness that a man is pleased with one sitting place before more sitting places, that he sends peace upon the one he meets, that he abandons quarreling, even if he is rightful, and that he does not like to be praised for godfearness.
