Hadith on Muhammad: Allah has made me generous and humble, not a tyrant

Abdullah ibn Busr reported: I gave a sheep as a gift to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Prophet sat on his knees to eat. A bedouin said, “What is this sitting?” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has made me a noble servant and he has not made me a stubborn tyrant.”

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ قَالَ أَهْدَيْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاةً فَجَثَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مَا هَذِهِ الْجِلْسَةُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَنِي عَبْدًا كَرِيمًا وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا عَنِيدًا
