Majma al-Zawaid 14227 — The humility of the Prophet ﷺ

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ : كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تُرَافِثُ الرِّجَالَ ، وَكَانَتْ بَذِيئَةً ، فَمَرَّتْ بِالنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ ثَرِيدًا عَلَى طِرْبَالٍ ، فَقَالَتِ : انْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ يَجْلِسُ كَمَا يَجْلِسُ الْعَبْدُ ، وَيَأْكُلُ كَمَا يَأْكُلُ الْعَبْدُ ! فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " وَأَيُّ عَبْدٍ أَعْبَدُ مِنِّي ؟ " . قَالَتْ : وَيَأْكُلُ وَلَا يُطْعِمُنِي . قَالَ : " فَكُلِي " . قَالَتْ : نَاوِلْنِي بِيَدِكَ . فَنَاوَلَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : أَطْعِمْنِي مِمَّا فِي فِيكَ . فَأَعْطَاهَا فَأَكَلَتْ ، فَغَلَبَهَا الْحَيَاءُ فَلَمْ تُرَافِثْ أَحَدًا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There was a woman who used to talk obscenely with men, and she was foul-mouthed. Once she passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was eating tharid on a raised platform. She said: "Look at him! He sits just as a slave sits, and he eats just as a slave eats!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And who could be more of a servant than I?" The woman said: "He eats himself, and does not give me anything to eat." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you eat too." She said: "Hand it to me with your own hand." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) handed it to her. Then she said: "Give me to eat from what is in your mouth." He gave that (morsel) to her and she ate it. Then modesty overcame that woman, and after that she never talked obscenely with anyone until she died.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain is da'if (weak).
