English translation

3773. 'Abdullāh bin Busr said: "The Prophet ﷺ had a platter that was carried by four men, which was called Al-Gharrā' (the shiny one). When the forenoon came and they had prayed Duha, that dish was brought, and Tharid had been made in it. They gathered around it, and there were a lot of people, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ knelt up (so as to take up less space). A Bedouin said: 'What is this manner of sitting?' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Allāh, Exalted is He, has made me an honored slave; He has not made me an arrogant tyrant.' Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Eat from around the edges and leave the top, so that it might be blessed.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

3773 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عِرْقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَصْعَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْغَرَّاءُ يَحْمِلُهَا أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ، فَلَمَّا أَضْحَوْا وَسَجَدُوا الضُّحَى أُتِيَ بِتِلْكَ الْقَصْعَةِ - يَعْنِي وَقَدْ ثُرِدَ فِيهَا - فَالْتَفُّوا عَلَيْهَا، فَلَمَّا كَثَرُوا جَثَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ: مَا هَذِهِ الْجِلْسَةُ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَنِي عَبْدًا كَرِيمًا، وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا عَنِيدًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُلُوا مِنْ حَوَالَيْهَا، وَدَعُوا ذِرْوَتَهَا، يُبَارَكْ فِيهَا»
