Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3831 — The humility and fairness of the Prophet

It is narrated from a man of Banu Fahm that a gift was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked here and there (for a place to put it) but did not find anything (a vessel, a raised seat or the like) in which it could be placed. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Just put it on the ground (the low place), for I am only a servant: I eat (humbly) as a servant eats, and I drink as a servant drinks."
Imam Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated this hadith. Although one narrator in its chain is unnamed (unknown), its meaning is established by other authentic narrations.
