Humble Living

1.  When one of you looks at someone who is superior to him in property and appearance, he should look at someone who is inferior to him.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

2.  Seek me among you weak ones, for you are given provision from Allah, God will be satisfied with few good deeds from him.
(Baihaqi).

3.  Allah loves His poor, believing servant who refrains from begging and yet has children. 
(Ibn Majah).

4.  O Allah, grant me life as a poor man, cause me to die as a poor man, and resurrect me in the company of the poor.
(Tirmidhi, Baihaqi).

5.  Abu Dharr said, "My friend, (Prophet Muhammad,) ordered me to observe seven things.  He ordered me to love the poor and be near them; he ordered me to consider myself inferior and not consider myself superior; he ordered me to join ties of relationship even when relatives are at a distance; he ordered me not to ask anyone for anything; he ordered me to speak the truth even when it is bitter; he ordered me not to fear for Allah's sake reproach anyone may cast on me; and he ordered me to repeat often, 'There is no might and no power except in God,' for these words are a part of the treasure under the throne."  (In Arabic: "La howla wa la quwwata illa billah.)
(Ahmad).
