"عَنْ عَدِىِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ أَلْقَى إِلَيْهِ وِسَادَةً فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ لا تَبْغِى عُلُوّا فِى الأَرْضِ وَلا فَسَادًا وأَسْلَمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِىَّ الله لَقَدَ رَأَيْنَا مِنْكَ مَنْظَرًا لَمْ نَرَهُ لأَحَدٍ، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ هَذَا كَرِيمُ قَوْمٍ، فَإِذَا أَتَاكُمْ كَرِيمُ قَوْمٍ فَأَكْرِمُوهُ".

"From 'Adi ibn Hatim: When he entered upon the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet threw him a cushion, but he sat on the ground and said: "I bear witness that you do not seek to exalt yourself on earth, nor to cause corruption," and he embraced Islam. He said: "O Prophet of Allah, we have seen from you a sight we have not seen from anyone else." He said: "Yes, this is the noble one of his people, so when the noble one of a people comes to you, honour him.""
