[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for me, I do not eat while reclining."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا آكُلُ مُتَّكِئًا»  

[Machine] That indeed Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted, sent to His Prophet ﷺ an angel from the angels, accompanying him was Jibril. The angel said, "Indeed, Allah gives you the choice between being a servant prophet and being an angel." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to Jibril as if seeking advice, so Jibril gestured with his hand for him to be humble. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Rather, I will be a servant prophet." He did not eat any food while reclining after that statement.  

أَنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَرْسَلَ إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ مَلَكًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَمَعَهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُخَيِّرُكَ بَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونَ عَبْدًا نَبِيًّا وَبَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلَكًا فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ كَالْمُسْتَشِيرِ فَأَشَارَ جِبْرِيلُ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ تَوَاضَعَ فَقَالِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بَلْ أَكُونُ عَبْدًا نَبِيًّا» قَالَ فَمَا أَكَلَ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الْكَلِمَةِ طَعَامًا مُتَّكِئًا
