Hawzah News Agency – Imam al-Sadiq (AS) when asked about humbleness said,
هُو أن تَرضى مِن المَجلِسِ بدُونِ شَرَفِكَ، وأن تُسَلِّمَ على مَن لَقِيتَ، وأن تَترُكَ المِراءَ وإن كُنتَ مُحِقّاً.
' Humbleness is that you be content to sit in a meeting where it is below your position, greet whosoever you meet and give up dispute even if you are right.'
