“The Companions considered respecting women as a sign of male nobility.”

You are in need of guidance even if you were the most pious and even if you were the most knowledgeable; you are in need of guidance till you die.

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah [رحمه الله] said:

« َيَجِبُّ أن يَعلَـمَ العَبـدُّ أنَّ عَمَلَـهُ مِن الحَسَنَـاتِ هُـوَ بِفَـضلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحمَتِـه ومِن نِعمَتِـهِ كَمَـا قَـالَ أهـلُ الجَنَّـةِ : 'الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهتَدِيَّ لَولَا أَن هَـدَانَا اللَّهُ'»

❝It is obligatory upon a slave of Allaah to know that the good deeds which he does are by the virtue of Allaah upon him, with Allaah's Mercy and from His blessings. Just as the people of Paradise said:

«الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهتَدِيَّ لَولَا أَن هَـدَانَا اللَّهُ»

'All the praises and thanks be to Allaah, Who has guided us to this, never could we have found guidance, were it not that Allaah had guided us!'❞

Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what charity is best?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Giving water to drink."
