TAWADHU SEBAGIAN AKHLAK WALI ALLAH
Salah satu ciri khas akhlak mulia para Wali Allah adalah semakin tinggi derajat, pengaruh, kedudukan, jabatan, maupun kemasyhurannya, justru semakin lembut dan rendah hati (tawadhu) sikapnya di hadapan Allah dan sesama manusia.
Hal ini sebagaimana tercatat dalam kitab Hilyah Al-Aulia (3/115):
Syekh Ahmad Ibnu Abi Al-Wardi menjelaskan maknanya:
"Sesungguhnya seorang Wali Allah memiliki tiga sifat yang senantiasa bertambah seiring dengan bertambahnya nikmat yang ia terima:"
1. Bertambah Derajat, Bertambah Tawadhu
Jika kedudukan, pangkat, atau pengaruhnya semakin tinggi dan luas, maka semakin bertambah pula kerendahan hatinya. Ia tidak pernah sombong atau merasa besar di hadapan makhluk.
2. Bertambah Harta, Bertambah Dermawan
Jika hartanya semakin banyak, maka semakin bertambah pula kedermawanan dan kemurah hatinya dalam berbagi kebaikan serta membantu orang lain.
3. Bertambah Umur, Bertambah Ibadah
Jika usianya semakin panjang, maka semakin bertambah pula kesungguhannya dalam beribadah, memperbaiki diri, dan melawan hawa nafsunya

HUMILITY IS PART OF THE CHARACTER OF THE AWLIYAH (SAINT PERSON IN ISLAM)
One of the distinctive traits and noble characters of the Awliya (saint person in islam) is that the higher their status, influence, rank, position, or fame becomes, the softer and more humble (tawadhu) they are before Allah and towards other people.
This is recorded in the book Hilyah Al-Aulia (3/115).
Sheikh Ahmad Ibn Abi Al-Wardi explains its meaning:
"Truly, a Wali Allah possesses three qualities that always increase along with the blessings he receives:"
1. Higher Status, Greater Humility
When his position, rank, or influence increases and becomes wider, his humility also increases. He is never arrogant or feels self-important in front of others.
2. More Wealth, More Generosity
When his wealth increases, his generosity and kindness in sharing goodness and helping others also increases.
3. Longer Life, More Worship
When his life becomes longer, his earnestness in worship, self-improvement, and controlling his ego also increases
DALIL
وقال: إن ولي الله إذا أراد ثلاثة أشياء زاد منها ثلاثة أشياء، إذا زاد جاهه زاد تواضعه، وإذا زاد ماله زاد سخاؤه، وإذا زاد عمره زاد اجتهاده.
Syekh Ahmad Ibnu Abi Al-Wardi berkata "Sesungguhnya Wali Alloh ketika Mengharapkan tiga Perkara Maka ia akan menambahi Tiga perkara yang lain ;
1. Jika wali Alloh bertambah pangkat atau Derajatnya maka Beliau akan menambah Tawadhu'nya.
2. Jika Wali Alloh bertambah Harta bendanya maka bertambah pula Dermawan nya
3. Dan jika Bertambah umurnya Maka bertambah juga Sungguh-sungguhnya (Beribadah dan melawan Nafsunya)"
Sheikh Ahmad Ibn Abi Al-Wardi said:
"Verily, when a Wali Allah (saint person in islam) is blessed with three things, he increases in three other qualities:
1. If his rank or status increases, then he increases in humility.
2. If his wealth increases, then he increases in generosity.
3. And if his lifespan increases, then he increases in earnestness (in worship and in striving against his ego/nafs)"
