Look at Those Below You, Not Those Above You

✓ Sahih
Sahih Muslim · 2963·Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (RA)

إِذَا نَظَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْخَلْقِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ مِمَّنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ

Transliteration

Idha nazara ahadukum ila man fuddila 'alayhi fil-mali wal-khalqi falyanzur ila man huwa asfala minhu mimman fuddila 'alayh

Translation

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "When one of you looks at someone who has been given more than him in wealth and appearance, let him look at someone below him in those things."

Practice This Today

Every time you catch yourself comparing upward today — on social media or in life — deliberately think of someone with less, and thank Allah.
