A woman who harassed the Prophet ﷺ about his humble demeanor
A woman used to harass men and used to be obscene about it. Once she walked by the Prophet ﷺ while he was eating tharīd (sopped bread, meat, and broth) on two fresh leaves. She said: Look all of you at this man sitting like servants sits and eating like servants eats. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, “Which servant shows more servitude than me?” She continued: And he eats but he doesn’t feed me. He said, “Eat.” She said: Give it to me with your hand. He gave it to her. She said: Give me what’s in your mouth. He gave it to her. She ate it then shyness overcame her and she didn’t harass anyone until she died.
كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تُرَافِثُ الرِّجَالَ وَكَانَتْ بَذِيئَةً. فَمَرَّتْ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ ثَرِيدًا عَلَى طَرَيَانٍ. قَالَتْ: انْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ يَجْلِسُ كَمَا يَجْلِسُ الْعَبْدُ، وَيَأْكُلُ كَمَا يَأْكُلُ الْعَبْدُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَأَيُّ عَبْدٍ أَعْبَدُ مِنِّي؟» قَالَتْ: وَيَأْكُلُ وَلَا يُطْعِمُنِي قَالَ «فَكُلِي.» قَالَتْ: نَاوِلْنِي يَدَكَ فَنَاوَلَهَا. قَالَتْ: أَطْعِمْنِي مِمَّا فِي فِيكَ، فَأَعْطَاهَا، فَأَكَلَتْ فَغَلَبَهَا الْحَيَاءُ فَلَمْ تُرَافِثْ أَحَدًا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ.
