مَا أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مُتَّكِئاً مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ وَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ إِكْلَةَ الْعَبْدِ وَ يَجْلِسُ جِلْسَةَ الْعَبْدِ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ تَوَاضُعاً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Washa, from Aban Bin Usman, from Zayd Al Shahaam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> did not eat whilst leaning since Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Sent him until he<sup>saww</sup> passed away, and he<sup>saww</sup> used to eat the eating of the slave, and he<sup>saww</sup> would sit the seating of a slave’. I said, ‘And why was that?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘In reverence to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’.
