3312. It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ, so he spoke to him, and he started to tremble with awe. He said to him: 'Take it easy. I am not a king; I am just a man whose mother ate dried meat.'" (Da'if) Abu 'Abdullâh said: 'Ismâ'il alone has narrated (this Hadith) with a complete chain of narrators.
3312 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ، فَكَلَّمَهُ، فَجَعَلَ تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَوِّنْ عَلَيْكَ، فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ بِمَلِكٍ، إِنَّمَا أَنَا ابْنُ امْرَأَةٍ تَأْكُلُ الْقَدِيدَ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَحْدَهُ، وَصَلَهُ

[1] Meat cut into strips and dried; jerked meat.
Arabs, in order to store the meat, used to cut it in long strips, apply salt to it, and dry it under the sun. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned his mother to console the person who became nervous, due to the greatness of the Prophet ﷺ. Presenting oneself as a simple man due to humbleness is not a denial of the blessing of Allāh. A great scholar or a high ranking person should address people in a manner that they feel cordial and can easily express their situation.
