Be courteous & generous even when in positions of power or authority over others; Be mindful while eating; Leave some food for others

This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) exemplary behavior and teachings. It is said that one day after the Companions finished their Duha prayer, a large bowl called Al-Gharra' was brought full of sopped bread, meat and broth. As more people gathered around it to eat from it, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) sat down on his knees and rested on the soles of his feet. When asked why he was sitting in such a manner he replied that Allah had made him a courteous slave not a fierce tyrant. He then instructed them to eat from the sides of the bowl and leave the central part so that their food would be blessed. This hadith teaches us about courtesy and generosity even when we are in positions of power or authority over others. It also teaches us to be mindful when eating as leaving some food for others can bring blessings upon us all.
