Humble Position of the Prophet (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) was seen in a humble position, which caused fear in the narrator.

Narrated Qaylah daughter of Makhramah: She saw the Prophet sitting with his arms round his legs. She said: When I saw the Messenger of Allah in such humble condition in the sitting position (according to Musa's version), I trembled with fear.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَسَّانَ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتَاىَ، صَفِيَّةُ وَدُحَيْبَةُ ابْنَتَا عُلَيْبَةَ - قَالَ مُوسَى بِنْتُ حَرْمَلَةَ - وَكَانَتَا رَبِيبَتَىْ قَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَكَانَتْ جَدَّةَ أَبِيهِمَا أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُمَا أَنَّهَا، رَأَتِ النَّبِيَّ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ الْقُرْفُصَاءَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْتَشِعَ - وَقَالَ مُوسَى الْمُتَخَشِّعَ فِي الْجِلْسَةِ - أُرْعِدْتُ مِنَ الْفَرَقِ
