Sunan Ibn Majah 2334 (Book 13, Hadith 27) #31686
Patience and Forgiveness in the Face of Adversity

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught us to be patient and forgiving even when we are wronged.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Prophet was with one of the Mothers of the Believers (his wives) and another (wife) sent a bowl containing food. She (the first wife) struck the hand of the Messenger of and the bowl fell and broke. The Messenger of Allah took the two pieces and put them back together, then he started gathering up the food and putting it in (the bowl). He said: 'Your mother was jealous. Eat'. So they ate, and she (the wife who broke the bowl) brought the bowl that was in her house and gave the intact bowl to the Messenger , who left the broken bowl in the house of the one who broke it".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ عِنْدَ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ أُخْرَى بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا طَعَامٌ فَضَرَبَتْ يَدَ الرَّسُولِ فَسَقَطَتِ الْقَصْعَةُ فَانْكَسَرَتْ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْكِسْرَتَيْنِ فَضَمَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا إِلَى الأُخْرَى فَجَعَلَ يَجْمَعُ فِيهَا الطَّعَامَ وَيَقُولُ ‏ "‏ غَارَتْ أُمُّكُمْ كُلُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى جَاءَتْ بِقَصْعَتِهَا الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهَا فَدَفَعَ الْقَصْعَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَتَرَكَ الْمَكْسُورَةَ فِي بَيْتِ الَّتِي كَسَرَتْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) exemplary behavior in a difficult situation. He was with one of his wives when another wife sent a bowl containing food. Unfortunately, the first wife struck the hand of the Messenger of Allah and caused it to fall and break. Instead of getting angry or scolding her, he took both pieces and put them back together before gathering up all the food that had spilled out into it. He then said "Your mother was jealous" as an explanation for why she acted out in such a way, before telling them to eat from it anyway despite what happened. The other wife then brought an intact bowl from her house for him to use instead, while he left the broken bowl with its owner as a reminder that patience is key even when faced with adversity or wrongdoings against us.
