Sahih al-Bukhari 3153 (Book 57, Hadith 61) #3015
Embarrassment in front of the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet (peace be upon him) was present during the siege of Khaibar and a person threw a leather container containing fat. When Abdullah bin Mughaffal ran to take it, he saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) standing behind and felt embarrassed.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal: While we were besieging the fort of Khaibar, a person threw a leather container containing fat, and I ran to take it, but when I turned I saw the Prophet (standing behind), so I felt embarrassed in front of him.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مُحَاصِرِينَ قَصْرَ خَيْبَرَ، فَرَمَى إِنْسَانٌ بِجِرَابٍ فِيهِ شَحْمٌ، فَنَزَوْتُ لآخُذَهُ، فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْهُ‏.‏
