It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some dates were brought as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to distribute them from a bag, and I was the messenger of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this task, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished. Then he himself sat squatting and began to eat the dates quickly, from which I realized the hunger of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
