It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubādah bin Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, so Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Stand with us so that we may seek the help of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this hypocrite. Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My intention is not sought for help; the intention is made for Allah Almighty.

Hadith Takhrij«اسناده ضعيف لضعف عبد الله بن لھيعة، ولابھام الراوي عن عبادة ، (انظر مسند أحمد ترقيم الرسالة: 22706 ترقیم بيت الأفكار الدولية: 23082»
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is possible that this hypocrite used to cause harm to the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum). In this hadith, the purpose of standing up is to seek help. In any case, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to dislike that people should stand up for him. This chapter discusses the humility of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). From the ahadith of this chapter, it is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) possessed an extremely humble and modest personality. He would not be pleased upon hearing his own praise; rather, when he heard exaggeration in his praise, he would prohibit the one praising and say, "I am only Muhammad, the son of Abdullah, Allah’s servant and His Messenger."
