Sahih al-Bukhari 5226 (Book 67, Hadith 159) #5005
Respect for Self and Others

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was prevented from entering a palace in Paradise due to his knowledge of Umar's sense of self-respect.

Narrated Jabir: The Prophet, said, "I entered Paradise and saw a palace and asked whose palace is this? They (the Angels) said, "This palace belongs to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab'. I intended to enter it, and nothing stopped me except my knowledge about your sense of Ghira (self-respect (O 'Umar)"'.Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you! O Allah's Prophet! How dare I think of my Ghira (self-respect) being offended by you?"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ ـ أَوْ أَتَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ ـ فَأَبْصَرْتُ قَصْرًا فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ‏.‏ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَدْخُلَهُ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي إِلاَّ عِلْمِي بِغَيْرَتِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَوَعَلَيْكَ أَغَارُ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Show respect towards yourself and others

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of respecting oneself and others. It tells us that even though the Prophet ﷺ was allowed to enter any palace in Paradise, he chose not to enter Umar's palace out of respect for him. This shows us that we should always be mindful of how our actions may affect others, even if it means sacrificing something we want or need. We should also be respectful towards ourselves by not allowing anyone else to take advantage of us or make decisions on our behalf without our consent. The Prophet ﷺ set an example for us by showing respect towards Umar and himself, which is why this hadith is so important.
