Sahih Muslim 2811c (Book 52, Hadith 54) #14153
Gratitude for Small Blessings

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a kernel of a date being brought to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his response to it.

Mujahid said: (I have had the privilege) of accompanying Ibn 'Umar up to Medina but I did not hear him narrate anything from Allah's Messenger except one hadith. And he said: We were in the presence of Allah's Messenger that there was brought to him the kernel of a date. The rest of the hadith is the same.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ صَحِبْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَمَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ فَأُتِيَ بِجُمَّارٍ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِهِمَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of showing gratitude for even small blessings. It is narrated by Mujahid that he was in the presence of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when a kernel of a date was brought to him. The Prophet showed his appreciation and thanked Allah for this small blessing. He then proceeded to eat it completely, leaving nothing behind as an example for us all that we should be thankful even for small blessings in our lives. This teaches us that no matter how big or small something may seem, we should always show gratitude towards Allah and not take anything He has given us for granted.
