Sahih al-Bukhari 5225 (Book 67, Hadith 158) #5004
Patience and Understanding in Difficult Situations

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught us to be patient and understanding when faced with a difficult situation.

Narrated Anas: While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives, one of the mothers of the believers sent a meal in a dish. The wife at whose house the Prophet was, struck the hand of the servant, causing the dish to fall and break. The Prophet gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started collecting on them the food which had been in the dish and said, "Your mother (my wife) felt jealous". Then he detained the servant till a (sound) dish was brought from the wife at whose house he was. He gave the sound dish to the wife whose dish had been broken and kept the broken one at the house where it had been broken.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِصَحْفَةٍ فِيهَا طَعَامٌ، فَضَرَبَتِ الَّتِي النَّبِيُّ فِي بَيْتِهَا يَدَ الْخَادِمِ فَسَقَطَتِ الصَّحْفَةُ فَانْفَلَقَتْ، فَجَمَعَ النَّبِيُّ فِلَقَ الصَّحْفَةِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَجْمَعُ فِيهَا الطَّعَامَ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الصَّحْفَةِ وَيَقُولُ ‏ "‏ غَارَتْ أُمُّكُمْ ‏"‏، ثُمَّ حَبَسَ الْخَادِمَ حَتَّى أُتِيَ بِصَحْفَةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ الَّتِي هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهَا، فَدَفَعَ الصَّحْفَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ إِلَى الَّتِي كُسِرَتْ صَحْفَتُهَا، وَأَمْسَكَ الْمَكْسُورَةَ فِي بَيْتِ الَّتِي كَسَرَتْ فِيه.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's exemplary behavior when faced with a difficult situation. In this hadith, one of the wives of the Prophet sent a meal in a dish to him while he was at another wife's house. The servant carrying the dish was struck by the wife at whose house he was, causing it to break. Instead of getting angry or scolding anyone, he calmly gathered up all the pieces of food that had been in it and said "Your mother felt jealous". He then asked for another dish from his other wife and gave it to her instead. This teaches us that we should always remain patient and understanding even when faced with difficult situations, as this is what our beloved Prophet did himself. We should also remember that jealousy can lead people to do things they wouldn't normally do, so we should try not to take such actions personally but rather show patience and understanding towards them instead.
