EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the humility of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is narrated by Jabir bin 'Abdullah that when the Prophet walked, his companions would walk in front of him and he would leave his back for the angels. This shows how humble and respectful he was towards others, even those who were not present with him. He did not want to take away from their respect or honor by walking ahead of them, so instead he left it open for angels to come behind him. This teaches us a valuable lesson about humility and respect towards others, no matter who they are or what their status is. We should always strive to be humble and treat everyone with kindness and respect as this is what our beloved prophet did throughout his life.
