Sahih al-Bukhari 4214 (Book 64, Hadith 254) #4028
Being Modest in Presence of Prophet (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was present when a person threw a leather container containing fat and the narrator felt shy to take it.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal: While we were besieging Khaibar, a person threw a leather container containing some fat and I ran to take it. Suddenly I looked behind, and behold! The Prophet was there. So I felt shy (to take it then).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ‏.‏ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مُحَاصِرِي خَيْبَرَ فَرَمَى إِنْسَانٌ بِجِرَابٍ فِيهِ شَحْمٌ، فَنَزَوْتُ لآخُذَهُ، فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ‏.‏

This hadith is about the importance of being modest and respectful in the presence of the beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is narrated by Abdullah bin Mughaffal that while they were besieging Khaibar, he saw a person throwing a leather container containing some fat and he ran to take it but then he noticed that the prophet was there so he felt shy to take it. This hadith teaches us that we should always be humble and respectful in front of our beloved prophet as well as other people around us.

We should also remember that Allah loves those who are humble and modest so we must strive to be like this at all times.
