Eating Locusts with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) eating locusts on multiple expeditions.

Abu Ya’fur said: I heard Ibn Abi Awfa say when I asked him about (eating) locusts: I went on six or seven expeditions along with the Messenger of Allah and we ate them (locusts) along with him.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّمَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى، وَسَأَلْتُهُ، عَنِ الْجَرَادِ، فَقَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سِتَّ أَوْ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ فَكُنَّا نَأْكُلُهُ مَعَهُ

It was narrated by Abu Yafur, who said that he heard Ibn Abi Awfa say that he went on six or seven expeditions with the Messenger of Allah and they ate locusts together. This shows us how humble and down to earth the Prophet was, as he did not shy away from eating something that many people would consider unclean or impure. He also showed us how important it is to be generous and share what we have with others, even if it may not seem like much at first glance. We can learn from this hadith to be humble in our actions and generous in our dealings with others, no matter what their social status may be.
