Respect authority figures and use proper address for others

This hadith is about a man entering a mosque on his camel and asking who among them was Muhammad. The people pointed out that it was the white man leaning against something in their midst. The man then addressed him as "O son of 'Abd al-Muttalib". To this address, the Prophet replied that he had already responded to him. This shows us how important it is to recognize and respect those in authority over us such as our parents or teachers. It also teaches us that we should always be respectful when addressing someone else by their proper title or name instead of using nicknames or terms of endearment without permission from them first.
