Once, whilst Hazrat Jibra'eel (‘Alaihis Salaam) was with Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم , a Sahabi رضي الله عنه  happened to come by. Hazrat
Jibra'eel (‘Alaihis Salaam) said to Nabi صلئ الله عليه وسلم : “This is Abu Zarr.”

Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم  enquired : “Do you know him ?”

Hazrat Jibra'eel (‘Alaihis Salaam) replied : “Abu Zarr is more famous, amongst us angels in the heavens than he is in Madina.

On inquiry as to how Hazrat Abu Zarr  رضي الله عنه  had achieved such
recognition, Hazrat Jibra'eel (‘Alaihis Salaam) explained that due to two actions, he had become very beloved to Allah.

One was an action of the heart and the other, an action of the body. The action connected with the heart was that he thought himself to be most insignificant. As such, he was fulfilling the right of his being a servant of Allah. This is something which Allah Ta’ala loves and approves very much of.

The action of his body was that he recited Surah Ikhlaas in abundance. This, then, earned him such praise and eminence amongst the angels.

What was the predominant attribute which was the means of such fame and popularity? It was the same humility.
