The Humbleness Of Sayyidina Rasoolullah
Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah 336
Anas ibn Malik said (may Allah be well pleased with him):
“Allah’s Messenger said (Allah bless him and give him peace): 'If a sheep’s trotter were given to me, I would receive it, and if I were invited to eat it at someone’s home, I would accept the invitation!'”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لوْ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ كُرَاعٌ لَقَبِلتُ، وَلوْ دُعِيتُ عَلَيْهِ لأَجَبْتُ.

Explanation
comments
It does not even come to mind that why should I accept such an ordinary small article, or accept an invitation to partake of it. I think of it as a blessing of Allah and accept it whole heartedly. The actual reason for accepting an invitation is not the food but to encourage the host and keep one happy.
