Sahih Muslim 2604a (Book 45, Hadith 125) #13703
Patience is a Virtue

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) showed his displeasure when Mu'awiya was busy eating and asked Ibn Abbas to call him.

Ibn Abbas reported: I was playing with children that Allah's Messenger happened to pass by (us). I hid myself behind the door. He (the Prophet) came and patted my shoulders and said: Go and call Mu'awiya. I returned and said: He is busy in taking food. He again asked me to go and call Mu'awiya to him. I went (and came back) and said that he was busy in taking food, whereupon he said: May Allah not fill his belly! Ibn Muthanna, said: I asked Umm Umayya what he meant by the word Hatani. He said: It means "he patted my shoulders".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الْقَصَّابِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَتَوَارَيْتُ خَلْفَ بَابٍ - قَالَ - فَجَاءَ فَحَطَأَنِي حَطْأَةً وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ وَادْعُ لِي مُعَاوِيَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ وَادْعُ لِي مُعَاوِيَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ أَشْبَعَ اللَّهُ بَطْنَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قُلْتُ لأُمَيَّةَ مَا حَطَأَنِي قَالَ قَفَدَنِي قَفْدَةً

QUICK LESSONS:

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of patience and good manners. It tells us that even if we are busy with something, we should still be patient and polite when someone asks us for help. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed his displeasure when Mu'awiya was too busy eating to answer his call, but he did not express it in an angry way. Instead, he expressed it by saying "May Allah not fill his belly". This teaches us that even if we are upset or frustrated with someone, we should still be kind in our words and actions towards them. We should also remember that patience is a virtue; it's important to take our time and think before speaking or acting so that we don't do anything rashly out of anger or frustration.
